module-text.json

This file contains the display formatting information for all the HUD modules in DirectionHUD.
Modules like direction and tracking have a section for their assets, which can be customized.

Formatting Guidelines

All modules in DirectionHUD use the same formatting guidelines.

Getting Module Output: Each module has outputs that should be displayed.

Use %s to retrieve an output.

Module Output: 123, 45, 678
Input: This is the x value: %s
Output: This is the x value: 123

When multiple outputs need to be selected out of order, use the syntax %1$s, where the number corresponds to the original order.

Module Output: 123, 45, 678
Input: This is the z value: %3$s
Output: This is the z value: 678
Selecting a Color: There are currently two color code formats to choose from.

&1 - The player's selected primary color.
&2 - The player's selected secondary color.

Example: &1Hello World!
Output: Hello World!
Text Styling: DirectionHUD offers all the vanilla text formatting functionality for the module output.

&b - Makes the text bold.
&i - Makes the text italic.
&s - Makes the text strikethrough.
&u - Makes the text underlined.
&o - Makes the text obfuscated.
&r - Resets all modifiers, excluding the color of the text.

Example: &bHello &iWorld!
Output: Hello World!

Resetting the modifier between the words offers more controls.

Example: &bHello &r&i&uWorld&r!
Output: Hello World!
Default Examples: Here are some formatting examples.

Colors: Primary, Secondary
Module Output: 123, 45, 678

Example: &1&b&uXYZ&2&r: %s %s %s
Output: XYZ: 123 45 678

Example: &1&b&iXYZ&r&2: %s&1&b-&r&2%s&1&b-&r&2%s
Output: XYZ : 123-45-678

Configuration

Each part of the file and its valid entries are detailed below.

Display options for the coordinates module.

xyz

This is the output for when the module is in XYZ mode.

Outputs: x, y, z

xy

This is the output for when the module is in XZ mode.

Outputs: x, z

Display options for the destination module.

xyz

This is the output for when the destination has all coordinates with no name.

Outputs: x, y, z

xy

This is the output for when the destination has no Y level and no name.

Outputs: x, z

name

This is the output for when the destination has a name and ALL coordinates.

Outputs: destination_name, x, y, z

Elevation: the symbols used when tracking elevation is enabled

tracking

This is the output for tracking without elevation.

Outputs: tracking_arrow

elevation_tracking

This is the output for tracking with elevation.

Outputs: tracking_arrow, elevation_arrow

Display options for the direction module.

assets

This provides the assets used for the direction module.
