About this Mod

This library adds text effects which can be used by servers and mods to add unique effects to component-based text.
Integrated effects:
Wobble
Shake
Marquee
... and more
Usage
Add Dependency
build.gradle.kts:
repositories {
// ...
maven("https://maven.axolotlclient.com/releases")
}
dependencies {
// ...
// use modImplementation for versions <26.1 if on fabric
implementation("io.github.moehreag:text-effects:<VERSION>")
}
Apply Effects
// A few other pre-made effects are available in the `TextEffects` class.
// Usage may differ slightly depending on game version.
var text = Component.literal("This is a text with effect!").withStyle(Style.EMPTY.text_effects$withEffect(TextEffects.WOBBLE));
Create your own effects
A few factory methods for common operations are provided in the TextEffect class.
Some pre-made effects are provided in the TextEffects class, with a few additional helper methods as well as registration handling. If you'd like to build on top of another effect you can use TextEffect#combine.
public static TextEffect CUSTOM_EFFECT = TextEffects.register(Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath("modid", "custom_effect"), TextEffect.constantYOffset(-2));
Effects are automatically able to be de/serialized in components using their id provided at registration.
{
text: "text with a nice effect",
text-effects: "text-effects:wobble"
}
This component works for 26.1, you will need to change it accordingly for minecraft versions using json components instead of snbt.
This format can also be used in commands, for example /tellraw.

Text Effects server crashes on startup – what to do?

Text Effects officially supports fabric, neoforge, ornithe for Minecraft 26.2, 26.2-rc-2, 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Text Effects – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Text Effects consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
