Is there already floating colored text mod, if not is anyone able to make it?

We can do same as in minecraft: NAMETAGS ON ENTITIES. (with colors too)

I guess it's possible to create a gui element containing the text...

You can display raw text on the HUD but it will be tiny (like in Capture The Flag: https://github.com/MT-CTF/ctf_pvp_engin ... ua#L89-L97)

It is also possible to display a floating image on the HUD, this is used in InsideTheBox: https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox/b ... a#L300-307
If you have characters in pixel format, you can compose an image by aligning the characters and then display it on the HUD.

Maybe we could use an invisible entity to make that text possible

This is easily possible. For an example see the digilines lcd.

Or more easily with Display API and Font API

How would you do this to a laptop/PC? Also I'm not sure how to connect digilines to work that way :(

Do you mean something like this?

It was about the text, not about digilines.

Btw. this topic has a "colored" in its name. Making letters colored is easy, I think.

Did someone develop a mod like this? I can't find anything on the forums
