I play on an RP server that has titles show up when you enter towns and nations, and it made me realize how obnoxious title displays are. I'd rather have titles display in a smaller area (resized to fit, of course) at the top of the screen, but I can't seem to find any mod that would allow me to do that.
If there's anyone willing to make a mod like that for 1.20.4, I'd be super appreciative!

Second bump, since traveller's titles is not what i'm looking for. I've made a little diagram to illustrate what I'd like.
All I want is to be able to move titles and subtitles from where they normally render — the black box — to the orange box. This should be done such that scaling is applied to the text in the orange box so that it does not move out-of-bounds, but stays within the bounds of the orange box.

If you can get someone to do it for you, then what they need to do is change how the InGameHud#renderTitleAndSubtitle method works. With a mixin. I tried, but it didn't work. For whatever reason the game cannot find the mixin. I'm going to ask why out of curiosity.

So you mean something like this?
Not the op, but I would really like something like this

It's done. https://github.com/Levoment/SmallerTitles, but I cannot compile it for anyone. Because GitHub Actions is being such a dimwit

nice, cheers - rip the actions, will you be uploading it to modrinth or curseforge, or am i just best off building it?

It's better that you build it yourself since I don't use mod hosting places.

Is it possible for it to be compatible with any 1.20 version
dusty crystal
Is it possible for it to be compatible with any 1.20 version
Yes. It should. On the fabric.mod.json file, before you build it, change

"minecraft": "~1.20.6"
For

foggy ginkgo

yes, exactly like that
this is what i get for not paying attention to discord for one day, lol! thanks for doing this!
also, the documentation is superb!

older versions of MC aren't compatible with jdk 21, though. how do you build for jdk 17? i'm using intellij.

I think you need to change the depended java version next to the minecraft version in the same file

about to test a build now, i could be missing something
I have exactly 1 working mod under my belt lmao

we'll get there

i don't know shit about this. i barely know how to do sorts in java XD

just changed the version is the gradle properties too, can send it over if it builds okay

still missing something that needs to be set back to java 17

I had another mod that built fine using 21 for 1.20.4 - error in the minecraft log says it was in the mixins file, just changed that and will try the new build
foggy ginkgo
i see
summer root
My understanding is that is can be built using newer versions, but it still needs the older version in runtime
i have no idea what im talking about

i guess i was wrong? getting an error saying it was compiled in a newer version
this is stress
nah i cant do it

im just gonna ask the kind folks in mod dev about this lol
dusty crystal
To compile with Java 21, leave everything as is, except for changing the version to take any of the 1.20 versions.
build.gradle file if when you installed intellij 
you choose to associate .gradle files. If not, just open IntelliJ and open the folder with the project. It should start importing.
Add JDK... and browse on your computer for the location of the JDK. It's usually in Program Files. But depending on the distribution of JDK that you installed, the place is different.
fabric.mod.json file and edit it to change the game version you want to compile it for and the Java version to use (must be the same one chosen in step 7. Either 17 or 21)
Tasks > build > build to build the jar for the modbuild\libs with name smallertitles-1.0.0.jar. That is the mod.If it doesn't work, feel free to ask. I honestly wish I could build it for you, but again, GitHub Actions is being such a dimwit and has decided to make things overly complicated and I cannot get it to compile in GitHub.

I followed your steps, but it's still atempting to build for Minecraft 1.20.6
dusty crystal

I forgot one step. Open the gradle.properties file in the root of the project and change the Minecraft version there to be the specific one you want to build for (x doesn't work there) and also change the Fabric API to the version for that game version. What version are you trying to build for?
Cause you would also need to change the yarn mappings version accordingly.
foggy ginkgo
I forgot one step. Open the `gradle.properties` file in the root of the project ...
1.20.4
what about yarn mappings
that seems to be labled "1.20.6+built.1"
dusty crystal
what about yarn mappings
That file then you would change it to
minecraft_version=1.20.4
yarn_mappings=1.20.4+build.3
loader_version=0.15.10
fabric_version=0.97.0+1.20.4
It should work then

builds, but produces errors when run.
file extension might need to be changed for you, since you're on windows. my bad.

What happens is that the launcher is using Java 17. It needs to be using Java 21.
However, I'm not sure how to do it on that launcher. Do you know how to change the launcher to use Java 21?
foggy ginkgo

1.20.4 doesn't use java 21, though.
that's why i had so many issues trying to downgrade it. because it uses 17
this is what happens when i try to run 1.20.4 with java 21:
wait
is 21 compatible?
seems like it's some mumbo jumbo
nope
never mind
1.20.4 doesn't work with java 21 at all
lucid cloak
you can force disable the java compatibility check per instance

seems like it was the mod
my bad
should've tested that
Main errors here:
lucid cloak
that's a mixin error
foggy ginkgo
ya
foggy ginkgo
Where is the mixin info, then?
lucid cloak
it's in the code
foggy ginkgo
passive-agressive, but okay. i'll find it myself. just wanted to learn to fish instead of be given the fish, if you catch my drift.
i'm not super aware of the structure fabric uses, is all...
foggy ginkgo
i'm under the assumption that you're at least somewhat aware what mixins are
i've never written mods for minecraft in my life. heck, i've barely written any software for java lol! just thought it would be interesting to learn something about this.
here, i'll go to a different chat
thanks for the help, though
much appreciated!
dusty crystal
1.20.4 doesn't work with java 21 at all
If it's not, then you need to change it to Java 17 in the gradle settings, in the fabric.mod.json, and in the build.gradle file. Did you try that?
Wow, the changes from 1.20.4 to 1.20.6 are huge 
What the heck 
? I was changing it so that you could just download the project and compile it, but the changes in the InGameHud class are huge
@foggy ginkgo Here, this version https://github.com/Levoment/SmallerTitles/archive/refs/heads/1.20.4.zip is for 1.20.4. You should be able to compile it by just changing the gradle settings to be Java 17 in the IntelliJ Gradle settings. It is hardcoded to work only with 1.20.4 because there were huge changes from 1.20.4 to 1.20.6. I am baffled as to why there was so many changes in just 2 lesser versions
summer root
this is still giving errors for JAVA_21
Also I'm building using Github Actions - I know you hae a custom build script, but swapping to the one provided by the Fabric Mod template has always worked for me
oh boy changed the compatibilityLevel in the mixins json and its worked - https://github.com/yungando/SmallerTitles/actions/runs/9180092634
just need to play around with the config
Thank you so much @dusty crystal

Yeah fully working as far as I can tell

looks like there's a slight mistake when reading the subtitle config, but works perfectly otherwise
thanks again @dusty crystal, this is great on the SMP server I'm on that is heavy on titles
dusty crystal
Oh, I didn't notice, you are right there. That one is supposed to be subtitle instead of title.
drowsy axle
¯_(ツ)_/¯
foggy ginkgo
cool, thanks, @dusty crystal!
dusty crystal
You're welcome, although that Title Tweaks mod in modrinth was not made by me though.
foggy ginkgo
oh
well, your mod was still very helpful!
also, that mod isn't what I needed lol
it just fixes the scaling for titles
foggy ginkgo
looks like there's a slight mistake when reading the subtitle config, but works ...
is this fixed on your fork? i noticed this issue, too, when trying to resize the subtitles.
if not, i'll just insert the correct variables myself, since it seems like aqua has everything else sey up correctly
dusty crystal
Nice. I could not get GitHub Actions to upload it to a release.
