About this Mod
About Me
"TitleWriter" is a small datapack/mapmaking/gamemaking tool that allows players to show animated titles to players where the animation style is "typewriter". Players can set tick-delay and sound that is played per character, to imitate a typewriter animation style!
How to use
/function tl:title {"text":"abcd","tick":10,"location":"actionbar/title","sound":"block.note_block.bit master @s ~ ~ ~ 1 2 1", args:{font:"minecraft:default",is_bold:FALSE,is_italic:FALSE}}
To use this datapack, you'll have to run a function file "tl:title" with a set of parameters inside `{..}`. These are the following:
- text : Self-explanatory, it's the text.
|_______ can be either pure string, or literal SNBT (lists supported!)
|____ if literal SNBT is used, set args to {is_literal:TRUE}.
- tick : this is the animation delay between every letter in ticks.
- location : this field defines whether title is shown.
|_______ can be either title or actionbar.
- sound : this is the sound that is played.
|_______ example: "minecraft.sound master @s ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1"
- args : Optional Arguments for different behavior
|_______ is_bold: TRUE/FALSE; Turns all text to Bold
|_______ is_italic: TRUE/FALSE; Turns all text to italic.
|_______ font: string; Change the font of the text.
|_______ is_literal: TRUE/unset;
|_____ This Flag disregards the flags above.
|_____ If mentioned/set to true, text interprets SNBT similar to /tellraw or default /title.
|_____ Can be used to animate Words, Complex SNBT or Text with Gradient.
Note:
If you're text has a semi-colon or an "=" sign, make sure that your text value in the command looks like this:"text":'"TIME 9:30"'
which is TEXT inside DOUBLE_QUOTATION_MARKS inside SINGLE_QUOTATION_MARKS
Limitations:
You cannot color/italicize/bold text currently
This has been fixed by introducing literal SNBT support.

Title Writer officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Title Writer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Title Writer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
