Overlay Modifiers

Overlay Modifiers

1.20.4 only.

These are some jsons that will allow you to modify arbitrary textures of any screen overlay.

Some practical examples are things like:

• moving xp bar
• making hotbar texture bigger
• removing overlays
• moving off hand slot to the left
• adding an overlay to your minimap border texture

Overlay modifiers act on SPRITES and can modify their position, texture location or UV.

Getting Started

To start you'll need to create a .json file in your resource pack folder in assets/[your namespace]/polytone/overlay_modifiers/[your modifier name].json.

Note that the namespace and name used can be what you want as those ids wont be used.

Json content

Here are all the parameters that you can include in your modifier. Only texture is mandatory, all others are OPTIONAL.

parameter	type	explanation
x_inc	integer	How much the sprite should be moved on x axis
y_inc	integer	How much the sprite should be moved on y axis
width_inc	integer	How much the sprite width should be increased
height_inc	integer	How much the sprite height should be increased
u0	float	New UV u0 value
u1	float	New UV u1 value
v0	float	New UV v0 value
v1	float	New UV v1 value
new_texture	New texture location to use instead
overlays	List of extra sprites to render. Their syntax is the same as the stuff above (x_inc...)

Note that all texture path are relative to the textures/gui/sprites/ folder.

Say for example you want you want to make the hotbar texture appear bigger. To do so you can add the following modifier:

{
  "texture": "minecraft:hud/hotbar",
  "x_inc": -5,
  "width_inc": 10,
  "overlays":[
    {
      "texture": "my_pack:hud/my_overlay",
      "y_inc": -2,
      "height_inc": 4
    }
  ]
}
