How do I install Online Displays?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Online Displays work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.20.1, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod is intended for Creative Mode use but can be also used in Survival Mode if chosen.

To be able to use the mod in survival, you must enable it in the /config/onlinedisplays/main.properties.

Online Displays adds one block: Display.

It allows setting up an image, positioning, rotating, and scaling it to your exact need so that everyone can see it.

Additionally, its lighting may be disabled, essentially rendering it emissive.

The Display block supports a variety of image formats, such as JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.

GIFs are partially supported, but you might see weird artifacts on GIFs with specific encoding.

WebP decoding uses this library (which is embedded into the mod)

Permissions:

You can use this mod in your modpack.
You are not allowed to re-publish this mod to other sites without providing a CurseForge download link and my permission (PM to Zeitheron, or via Discord)
You are not allowed to include this (or any other mods of the DragonForge team) in your own mod. Building add-ons, however, is allowed, but a friendly PM would be good.

Note:

The only supported version of Minecraft is the latest one that this mod exists for. DO NOT ASK TO DOWNGRADE!
