Advanced Floating Text & Holograms

✨ ADVANCED FLOATING TEXT ✨

THE MOST ADVANCED FLOATING TEXT ADD-ON EVER MADE FOR BEDROCK

HOLOGRAMS. LIVE LEADERBOARDS. CLICKABLE SIGNS. PARTICLES. ALL EDITED IN GAME, WITH A LIVE PREVIEW.

You want a welcome sign at spawn. A leaderboard in the town square. The rules floating over the portal. So you install a floating text add-on, and here's what you get. An invisible mob wearing a name tag. A form with eight boxes. A text that vanishes when someone types /kill @e. And a server that gets slower with every sign you put up, because the add-on is hunting through every entity in the world, every single tick, to find its own text.

Not this one. Advanced Floating Text is drawn with Minecraft's own text rendering. No entities. No hidden mobs. Nothing to kill, nothing to despawn, nothing that freezes when a chunk unloads. Just text, exactly where you put it, looking exactly how you want.

🎨 MAKE IT LOOK INCREDIBLE 🎨

• ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE — &a codes (or §), every one of Bedrock's colours including the new material colours, and &#ff8800 hex colours, matched to the closest Minecraft colour
• GRADIENTS — <gradient:#ff0000:#0000ff>like this</gradient>, through as many colours as you want. And <rainbow> for a rainbow that stays still
• ANY SIZE — from tiny labels to huge signs you can read from across your base
• BACKGROUNDS — the game's own, none at all, dark, black, light, or eight colours
• FACE THE PLAYER, OR STAY PUT — text that always turns to face you, or fixed like a real sign, at any angle, tilted any way, readable from behind or not. Turn to face me points it at you in one tap
• HIDE IT BEHIND WALLS, OR DON'T — your choice, per text
• VIEW DISTANCE — from 4 blocks up to 128, per text

🌀 MAKE IT MOVE 🌀

MOTION

Bob gently up and down. Spin. Swing side to side. Pulse. Bob and spin. Every one at the speed you pick.

TEXT EFFECTS

• RAINBOW — colours rolling through every letter
• SHIMMER — a shine sweeping across your text, like a rare item
• TYPEWRITER — each page typed out, letter by letter, with a blinking cursor
• BLINK — flashes for attention
• GLITCH — letters scrambling for a split second, then snapping back. Perfect for that haunted build

PAGES

Give a text up to 12 pages and it turns them by itself: rules, news, tips, a whole slideshow. Pick how long each one stays.

🎆 PARTICLES. PROPER ONES. 🎆

Eleven particle effects made just for this add-on, sized to fit your text, in any colour you like:

Sparkles · Glow · Embers · Snow · Hearts · Music notes · Enchanting glyphs · Orbit ring · Fireflies · Bubbles · Shooting stars

Turn the amount up or down. Put a ring of light circling under the portal sign. Snow drifting past the Christmas countdown. Embers rising off the Nether hub. And they only run while someone's nearby to see them.

👆 TEXT YOU CAN CLICK 👆

Text drawn by the game can't be hit. We made it clickable anyway. Players punch a floating text and something happens:

• TURN THE PAGE — read the rules at your own pace
• SEND A MESSAGE — in chat, or on the action bar
• RUN A COMMAND — open a shop, give a kit, start a minigame
• PLAY A SOUND
• TELEPORT — floating text warps, done in ten seconds

{player} and every other placeholder work in them too.

📊 LIVE TEXT THAT FILLS ITSELF IN 📊

Put placeholders in your text and they update live:

• THE SERVER — players online and who they are, TPS, uptime
• THE WORLD — game time (24 or 12 hour), day, moon phase, weather
• THE REAL WORLD — the time and date on your server's clock, in your time zone, and countdowns to any date, with your own message when it arrives
• SCOREBOARDS — anyone's score, the leader, totals, counts
• YOUR OWN VALUES — set {var:anything} from a command block or another add-on
• NUMBER FORMATS — |compact for 1.2k, |commas for 1,234, |time and |clock for durations

🙋 AND SOME ARE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY PLAYER 🙋

{player}, your score, your rank, your health, your level, your biome, how far you are from the sign, even your rank tag. A welcome sign that greets every player by name. A stats board where everyone sees their own.

🏆 LEADERBOARDS THAT ACTUALLY WORK 🏆

{lb:kills:10} and there it is. The top 10, in gold, silver and bronze.

• OFFLINE PLAYERS KEEP THEIR NAMES — no more "Offline Player" filling up your board. Names are remembered the moment a player joins, without rewriting your world's data every second
• YOUR OWN PLACE — {rank:kills} shows each player where they stand
• HIGHEST OR LOWEST FIRST — :asc for fastest parkour times
• ONLINE ONLY — :online for a live session board
• NO HIDDEN JUNK — #fake scoreboard entries stay off the board
• ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE — empty places show as ---, so the board doesn't jump around

The Leaderboard template picks your scoreboard from a list, or makes a new one for you.

🛠️ AN EDITOR YOU'LL ACTUALLY ENJOY USING 🛠️

Type /mygen:floatingtext, or use the Floating Text Wand while looking at a text.

• LIVE PREVIEW — every change shows on the real text in your world as you make it, and the finished text, placeholders filled in, sits at the top of the editor
• LINE BY LINE — a box for every line, up to 16, and a new one appears as you fill the last
• ONE SCREEN, SEVEN SECTIONS — Text, Look, Motion and effects, Particles, Who sees it, Click action, Position. Pick one and the rest gets out of the way
• POINT AND EDIT — look at a text and use the wand, or open the menu and it's right there at the top
• MOVE IT PRECISELY — nudge it in any direction with sliders, move it to you, above the block you're looking at, or centre it on its block
• NINE TEMPLATES — Welcome sign, Leaderboard, Server info, Rules board, Countdown, Shop sign, Portal label, Your stats, or blank. Each one shows off something new
• SEARCH EVERYTHING — find any text by name, group, or any word in it, nearby or anywhere in the world
• DUPLICATE in one tap
• QUICK TEXT — /mygen:floatingtext "&6Hello!" puts one in front of you, no menu needed

♻️ DELETED THE WRONG ONE? ♻️

Recently deleted keeps your last 10 deleted texts. One tap puts it back exactly where it was. Floating text with an undo button. Finally.

👁️ WHO SEES WHAT 👁️

• EVERYONE, PLAYERS WITH A TAG, PLAYERS WITHOUT ONE, or EDITORS ONLY. VIP lounges, staff notes, a "welcome, new player!" that disappears once they've got the member tag
• GROUPS — put texts in a group and switch the whole lot on or off at once. Christmas decorations, event signs, a minigame's scoreboard
• HIDE WITHOUT DELETING — switch a text off and it's there when you want it back

⚡ BUILT FOR SERVERS. BUILT FOR SPEED. ⚡

Other floating text add-ons get slower with every sign. This one was built the other way round.

• NO ENTITIES. AT ALL. Nothing scanning the world every tick, nothing teleporting mobs into place, nothing for /kill @e to destroy
• NOBODY NEARBY? NOTHING RUNS. A text only exists on screen while a player who's allowed to see it is close enough. A thousand signs across your map cost nothing until someone walks up to one
• ONLY WHAT CHANGED — text is only sent to players when it actually changes. Leaderboards are worked out once, not once per player
• SAVED SAFELY — every text is saved on its own, so editing one never rewrites the rest, and nothing depends on a chunk being loaded. Texts in the far corner of the world are listed, searchable and editable from anywhere
• YOU'RE IN CONTROL — operators set how often placeholders update, how smooth motion is, how far away texts load, and can switch particles or clicks off server-wide
• PLAYS NICELY — no vanilla files overridden. No hijacked eggs, no replaced player file, no replaced HUD. And no Beta APIs, so it runs on Realms and keeps achievements on

🔌 FOR MAP MAKERS AND OTHER ADD-ONS 🔌

Drive any text from a command block, a function or another add-on, by name:

/scriptevent floatingtext:text Spawn|&aWelcome!\nHave fun||Page two /scriptevent floatingtext:show Spawn /scriptevent floatingtext:hide Spawn /scriptevent floatingtext:page Rules|2 /scriptevent floatingtext:group Christmas|off /scriptevent floatingtext:var event|Spleef at 8pm /scriptevent floatingtext:create Arena|&cRound 1

Minigame scores, event countdowns, quest boards: wire them up however you like.

👑 WHO CAN EDIT 👑

Operators, and anyone you give the floatingtext:editor tag. Let your builders decorate without handing out operator. Everyone else just enjoys the view (and the click actions).

⚠️ GOOD TO KNOW ⚠️

• Vibrant Visuals: the game currently draws floating text through walls with Vibrant Visuals on, even with Hide behind blocks set (MCPE-243723). Simple and Fancy graphics are fine
• Bedrock has its own set of colours. Hex colours and gradients use the closest ones, so very subtle gradients land on a few shades rather than hundreds
• The game caps how many texts can be on screen at once across the whole world. Texts nobody's near don't count, and the menu shows how many are in use
• Per-player placeholders ({player}, {score:kills} and friends) give each nearby player their own copy of that text. Brilliant for welcome signs, but use them where they matter

🎯 WHY? 🎯

Because a server's spawn is the first thing every new player sees, and it should knock their socks off. Not a grey name tag on an invisible chicken.
