Dimension Viewer

A highly customizable server-side Minecraft mod for viewing what dimension players are currently in.

Now supporting Fabric, Forge & NeoForge!

Fabric version requires Fabric API (CurseForge or Modrinth)

Compatibility

Dimension Viewer should be compatible with all dimensions. There may be some cases where the mod name shown on hover is not formatted correctly due to the use of the modid to get which mod a dimension is from.

Mods that make changes to the tab list name format (or even the regular display name) will likely cause issues with this mod but at the moment I cannot think of any to test with. If you find any issues, please leave an issue! Thank you!

Features

Modded dimensions can now be coloured independently.

Dimension names can now be aliased to something else, allowing you to modify the name displayed per dimension.

Configuration

By modifying the config file, you can change the colour* of the text on a per-dimension basis, allow showing the dimension in chat messages and change the overall format of the dimension with the ability to use Minecraft text formatting such as underlining, bold and italic fonts.

The config file is located in [Server Folder]/config/dimensionviewer-common.toml for (Neo)Forge or [Server Folder]/config/dimensionviewer.json for Fabric.

Any changes made will be applied as soon as the config file is saved. See below for an example config:

Example Configurations & Settings

Settings and What They Do

listFormat - String
- The format that will be used to display the dimension in the player list or chat name. It supports a few tokens to tweak the layout.
  - %d - Dimension (required)
  - %i - Italic
  - %b - Bold
  - %u - Underlined
  - %s - Strikethrough
  - %o - Obfuscate text
  - %% - Literal %
- Any character following a % will be interpreted as a token and removed, so use %% if you want a percentage sign in the name
dimensionPosition - String
- Sets the position the dimension is shown in relation to the players name.
  - PREPEND - Before the player name
  - APPEND - After the player name
defaultColor - String
- Sets the default font colour to use if PER_DIM_COLOR is false or is a custom dimension that is not defined in MODDED_DIMS
  - Accepts any vanilla text colour: DARK_RED, RED, GOLD, YELLOW, DARK_GREEN, GREEN, AQUA, DARK_AQUA, DARK_BLUE, BLUE, LIGHT_PURPLE, DARK_PURPLE, WHITE, GRAY, DARK_GRAY, BLACK
  - Also accepts the name of any custom colours defined in CUSTOM_COLORS
  - The names must be UPPERCASE
overworldColor, netherColor & endColor - String
- Used to change the colors of vanilla dimensions when perDimColor is set to true
- Accepts the same inputs as defaultColor
perDimColor - Boolean
- Used to enable individual dimension colouring. Disabling this will display all dimensions the same colour as defined in DEFAULT_COLOR
dimInChatName - Boolean
- Used to toggle showing the dimension in a players name when sending chat messages
- When turned off, the players chat name will be unaffected and only the tab list name will show the players current dimension
enableAliases - Boolean
- Used to toggle whether custom dimension names should be used.
- When enabled, any dimensions that match items in DIM_ALIASES will have their display names swapped for the aliased name.
moddedDimensions - Array of Strings
- Used to change the colors of custom modded dimensions
- Uses the format modid:dim_id color
- For example, Twilight Forest in Gold would be twilightforest:twilight_forest GOLD
dimensionAliases - Array of Strings
- Used to show a custom name for a given dimension
- Uses the format modid:dim_id New Name (Spaces allowed)
- For example, to replace Overworld with The Grasslands you would use minecraft:overworld The Grasslands
- Has no effect if ENABLE_ALIASES is false
- [VERSION 2.0.0+] Allows the use of tokens in the alias (see listFormat)
  - Make only the overworld text bold with minecraft:overworld %b%d
customColors [VERSION 2.0.0+] - Array of Strings
- Used to define custom font colors in either HEX format or RGB format.
- Uses the format COLOR_NAME #HEX for hexadecimal colours or COLOR_NAME r000 g000 b000 for RGB colors.
  - The name of the color must be UPPERCASE
  - Hexadecimal numbers must be 6 characters long. Truncated hex values and hex w/ alpha values are not supported at this moment.
- For example, a custom pink hex color would be HOT_PINK #C62F75
- Another example, a custom purple RGB color would be FUTURE_PURPLE r152 g154 b255

(Neo)Forge Example

The (Neo)Forge configuration file contains comments for every setting and the valid options available for the setting.

    dimInChatName = true
    #Add a hover effect in chat that will display which mod added the dimension
    #Requires 'dimInChatName' to be set to true
    chatDimHover = true

#Modded Dimension Customization
[customization.modded]
    #A list of aliases to use instead of the original dimension ID.
    #Uses the format 'modid:dim_id New Name'.
    #For example, to replace 'Overworld' with 'Grasslands' you would use 'minecraft:overworld Grasslands'
    dimensionAliases = ["minecraft:the_end ULTIMA THULE"]
    #A list of modded dimension resource IDs and a color in the format of "modid:dim_id color"
    #For example, Twilight Forest in Gold would be "twilightforest:twilight_forest GOLD"

#Extra Customization
[customization.extra]
    #Custom colors can be defined here.
    #Uses the format 'COLOR_NAME #HEX' or 'COLOR_NAME r000 g000 b000'
    #If a custom color of the same name already exists the server will reject the newest one.
    #The name must be uppercase and can only contain letters and underscores.
    custom_colors = ["HOT_PINK #C62F75", "FUTURE_PURPLE r152 g154 b255"]

Fabric Configuration

The Fabric configuration is stored and laid out differently to the (Neo)Forge configuration file due to having to write the saving and loading functions manually. Everything is the same in terms of settings, but there are no comments, unfortunately. This is something that I will try to change in the future.

{
  "listFormat": "%i<%d>",
  "dimensionPosition": "APPEND",
  "defaultColor": "HOT_PINK",
  "overworldColor": "DARK_GREEN",
  "netherColor": "FUTURE_PURPLE",
  "endColor": "HOT_PINK",
  "perDimColor": true,
  "dimInChatName": true,
  "chatDimHover": true,
  "enableAliases": true,
  "moddedDimensions": ["twilightforest:twilight_forest GOLD"],
  "dimensionAliases": ["minecraft:overworld %bThe Grasslands", "minecraft:the_nether %u%d", "minecraft:the_end %oEnd"],
  "customColors": ["HOT_PINK #C62F75", "FUTURE_PURPLE r152 g154 b255"]
}
