Floating text is a very useful feature for servers and maps. Unfortunately though, it’s mainly just available by coding third-party plugins or mods. This add-on gives you the ability to make custom floating text in your Minecraft worlds.

How does it work?
First off, you will need to obtain a name tag with the proper text which you want to display. For that you will need an Anvil and a Name Tag. In this case, I chose to name it “The Nether”.
Next, you will need to spawn the floating text entity. This is done by spawning a rabbit.
Use the Name Tag on the invisible rabbit to create the floating text. The rabbit is invisible and doesn’t have a hitbox. Aim at the center of the block to name the entity. I suggest using the Split Controls option in the touch settings.
You can make the text float by placing a block in the air then spawning the rabbit on it. Then break the block and it’s floating text!
Changelog
- You can no longer bump the Floating Text

- Fixed the glitch where there were walking particles under the text
Installation
- Download Resources & Behaviors .McAddon

i think you should make it so that when you put dye on it changes to that colour
You should make the custom mob can be summoned from the commands. If it can, then tell me how to summon it like “/summon (example):custom_floating_text ~~~”
The rabbit isn’t invisible and I can hit it! Is this a bug?
why the heck dosent the behaviour pack work? I downloaded it changed the file to .zip extracted the files and found behaviour pack and resource pack so I deleted resource pack installed it into game and does not work wtf
the name of the mob wont show lol
this was meant to be a reply, i dont know why it appered as a comment…
IT DOESN’T WORK IN 1.10 MINECRAFT WHEN RABBIT IS INVISIBILE THEN TEXT GOES INVISIBILE TOO.😠
Uhhh 1.10 is old …
1.10 on bedrock
Finally some nice holograms but there is a bug when somebody goes in adventure mode and tries to punch it the game/server crashes i would really like to see a fix for it because i have to use barrier blocks for now.
Hey, its even when you even get close to it which is a pain. I would love to use this again in my world but for now i have to use the always show name tags add on.
I found a bug when i spawned a zombie, wolf or pig. the game crashes when i spawned them.
how u change the color of the text?
§(number)
Can i use it as a waypoint?
useless just throw invisible potion to mob and name the mob easy
well not so useless if you don’t know how to use commands to give it infinite invisibility or you want it to have no hitbox
U didnt get the resource pack cause they removed it you now only need the b. pack! 😀
The text can float if you build then add text on stack of blocks then break the blocks and it will still be floating! 😀
THE UPDATE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING!
idk shall I really update cs_assault?
Good add on but I can’t get the resource pack for some reason
*THE INVISIBLE BLOCK DOES NOT WORK*
Doesn’t work how do we get the floating text cuz the ladder doesn’t work
Oops, I dont know where do i have to import the extracted files, I tried to move it on resource packs but it didnt work. Can someone help me out?
You should have used the squid for that.. cuz it’s useless. Or a fish..
But still a great addon!
I love this add on. Maybe the invisible entity could be a shulker. Other than that I love this addon
I can easily do this with command blocks and you would be able to have other rabbits and the floating text. good for people who dont know commands.
oops i forgot that is wont show names constantly without resources/behavior
What about http://mcpedl.com/text-squids-addon/
Those you have to have behind walls, mine are invisible.
Your addon is really brilliant, may I upload it to the Minecraft Chinese Edition as a free resource? I will write your nickname in the introduction.
First download and comment
(first comment) i would love it to have no hitbox but other than that its really good

Hello there 😀 Can I use this on my map? Pls? I will credit you. Thanks in advance! 🙂
But if it had no hitbox, you can’t rename it
