TextMod for Luanti / Minetest 🔗

TextMod is a lightweight mod that lets you spawn floating text anywhere in your world using the /text command.

It's perfect for:

  • Spawn messages
  • Info signs
  • Waypoints
  • Custom map decorations

💡 Original idea by [nono]


✨ Features 🔗

  • /text command to spawn floating text
  • Accepts HEX color codes (e.g. #FF0000)
  • Supports multi-line text using \n
  • Optionally configurable max number of texts and range via settings.conf
  • /remove_text command to delete text by ID or position
  • No dependencies required

🧪 Usage Examples 🔗

/text #00FF00 "Hello above me!"
/text 0 10 0 #FF0000 "Text at coordinates"
/remove_text 1
/remove_text 0 10 0

⚙️ Configuration (settings.conf) 🔗

textmod_max_texts = 100         # Max number of texts allowed
textmod_default_range = 200     # Default visibility range

🔥 Known Limitations 🔗

Due to engine restrictions, colored nametags on entities are not reliably supported in all clients. The color is stored and parsed correctly, but may appear as white depending on the Minetest or Luanti version.
