Billboard Engine is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.3. It turns any flat wall into a scrolling text billboard, a picture or an animation, all made of real blocks.

  • Text in a 5x7 font, 9 sizes, any full block as the pixel, scrolling or standing still.
  • Pictures and animated GIFs: every pixel becomes the vanilla block with the closest color.
  • Lua scripting built in: the Script Box runs your program right in the game. Clocks, slide shows, countdowns. No other mod needed.
  • Redstone: a sign and a pulse start a text, and redstone blocks as pixels work like a punch card.
  • CC: Tweaked works too, if you already use it: the engine is also a ComputerCraft peripheral with the same functions.
  • The wall comes back exactly as it was. While a billboard is shown, nobody can mine its blocks.

Start here

  3. Two ways to script, then the Examples to copy from.

Or just look first: the Gallery.
