About this Mod


🏷️ Areas Hint Mod

Add immersive area name popups to your Minecraft world!
When entering custom regions, elegant area titles appear at the top of your screen. Supports multi-level nesting, dimension default names, and easy creation tools—making exploration feel truly meaningful.


📖 Overview

Areas Hint allows players to define regions (called “domains”) using polygons and display custom names upon entry. All calculations are handled client-side with multithreaded optimization, placing almost zero load on the server. Say goodbye to complex commands and use intuitive tools to mark your world with ease.


✨ Features

  • Player Customization: Freely name regions, define boundaries and height.
  • High Performance: Zero server load, with client-side optimization and multithreading.
  • Automatic Area Titles: Enter places like “Elven Forest” or “Dark Castle” and see smooth title animations appear on screen.
  • Multi-level Regions: Supports nested regions (e.g., “Kingdom” → “Throne Room”) with elegant transitions or combined displays.
  • Dimension Default Names: Displays the dimension name (e.g., “Wilderness Continent”) when outside all regions.
  • Easy Creation Tool: Use /areahint easyadd for an interactive setup—just walk and click to create areas.
  • Fully Customizable: Modify names, colors, heights, split or merge regions anytime.
  • Beautiful & Smooth UI: RPG-style title display (inspired by Genshin Impact), with adjustable styles and smooth animations.
  • No Claim Restrictions: Mark any place freely—explore without limits.
