Import, Export and Installation

Advanced Studio exports the same .texteffect file type used by the Basic Studio, with an enabled advanced graph section.

Import an effect​

Click Import and choose an Advanced .texteffect file.

The editor checks:

  • Effect details
  • Graph version
  • Node types and IDs
  • Input and output sockets
  • Value types
  • Connections and cycles
  • Shader stages
  • Output nodes
  • Plugin safety limits

Basic layers inside the same file are loaded into the Advanced workspace as well.

Export an effect​

The Validate & export card must show:

Graph valid

Warnings can still be exported, but every error must be fixed first.

Click the download button to save the .texteffect file.

Install it on the server​

Put the downloaded file directly inside:

plugins/TextEffect/custom-effects/

Then run:

/texteffect reload
/texteffect validate

If the file passes, TextEffect assigns it a custom runtime slot and includes it in the loaded custom-effect count.

Rebuild the resource pack​

Run one of:

/texteffect zip
/texteffect zip merge

Apply the rebuilt standalone pack or rebuild the provider's final merged pack before testing the graph in Minecraft.
