About this Mod
Aquarius Libs needs to be installed for this mod to work!
In vanilla Minecraft, renaming a chest at an anvil only displays its custom name inside the container's menu.
This mod brings those names to life by rendering them as visible name tags directly above your chests.
What it does:
- Visual Name Tags: Displays custom chest names in the world.
- Color Code Support: Use § formatting codes for unique, vibrant names (in the anvil when naming).
- Sneak Transparency: Text becomes transparent when you sneak to keep your view clear.
- Config Options: Tweak the config file to customize the background and outline colors(example: -16777216) (only one can be used), or change the display mode to see through(to see the names through blocks).
Supported Versions
- Loaders: Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge.
- Versions: 26.1.x
- Note: No plans to support older versions below 26.1 for now
