Description
HowToGuide is a server-side and client-side Minecraft mod (available for Fabric and NeoForge) that lets modpack developers send animated popup messages to their players — complete with interactive click actions and conditional logic.
Visual Customization
Each popup can be fully customized:
- Title and subtitle text with custom fonts, colors, sizes, bold, italic
- Text effects: rainbow, wave, shake, typewriter, obfuscation (random or full)
- Positioning: custom X/Y offsets, screen anchor point, random position/rotation
- Background on/off, custom wrap width
- Companion items and textures rendered alongside the popup
- Click areas with actions or conditions
Made easier with Preset Editor (Can be opened via keybinds)
Can be dragged around with Dev GUI (can be opened via keybinds & is able to show up on to of screens)
Commands
/howtoguide show— Display a popup to specific players with full options (all popups with hardcoded styles)/howtoguide custom— Display a popup from raw NBT configuration (popup with customizable data)/howtoguide preset— Trigger a named preset from your config/howtoguide clearall— Clear all active popups (optionally filtered by preset)
All keybinds are unbound by default — rebind them in Controls settings before use.
Requires Immersive Messages API & Caxton as a dependency.
