Basic Studio

What you can build​

The editor includes 34 layers split into four groups:

  • Colour
  • Motion
  • Brightness
  • Special

An effect can contain up to 16 layers. Only one base colour layer can be used in the same effect.

Basic workflow​

  1. Enter the effect details.
  2. Add and arrange layers.
  3. Adjust the layer controls while checking the live preview.
  4. Fix any validation messages.
  5. Download the .texteffect file.
  6. Put the file in plugins/TextEffect/custom-effects/.
  7. Reload TextEffect and rebuild the resource pack.

The browser preview is a close recreation. Minecraft remains the final renderer, so movement, glyph edges and pixel-level effects can look slightly different in-game.
