Chromatic Subtitles is a continuation fork of Colorful Subtitles by
haykam821.

Changes subtitle colors based on their sound category.

The mod currently supports Fabric only, but NeoForge support is planned.

Installation

  1. Download Chromatic Subtitles from the project releases page.
  2. Place the downloaded file in your mods folder.

Usage

When this mod is installed, subtitles will automatically have a different color depending on their sound category:

  • Music: dark purple
  • Records: dark red
  • Weather: aqua
  • Blocks: green
  • Hostile: red
  • Neutral: yellow
  • Players: gold
  • Ambient: gray
  • Voice: light purple
  • UI: blue

Configuration

Chromatic Subtitles creates its config at: config/chromaticsubtitles.toml. If a legacy Colorful Subtitles JSON config
exists at: config/colorfulsubtitles.json, it will be converted to: config/chromaticsubtitles.toml on first launch.
The legacy JSON file is left in place.

During development, an existing config/chromaticsubtitles.json file can also be converted to the new TOML format if no
TOML config exists.

Colors can be configured with the simple color form:

default_color = "white"

[colors]
music = "dark_purple"
record = "dark_red"
weather = "aqua"
block = "green"
hostile = "red"
neutral = "yellow"
player = "gold"
ambient = "gray"
voice = "light_purple"
ui = "blue"

or with the table form when a custom background color is needed:

default_color = "white"

[colors]
music = "dark_purple"
record = "dark_red"

[colors.weather]
text = "aqua"
background = "#002233"

[colors.hostile]
text = "red"
background = "#330000"

default_color also supports the table form:

[default_color]
text = "white"
background = "#000000"

Colors can be Minecraft formatting color names, such as dark_purple, or hex colors, such as #AA00AA.
