Display Text Over Head

[Mine215]

Hey guys! I am trying to make a mod that displays some stats on top of someones head. I can't seem to find anything that works online or in vanilla code. Could someone point me in the right direction or help me add this?

You may need to render them in render player event, not sure in pre or post tho, but I think they both works since you are not "interacting" with the player.

Ok thanks but how can I render something like that. I mean how can I define text above someones head. Any suggestions? Name display code does not seem to help. Thanks for the reply!

Post what you’ve tried. The procedure should be very similar to the name tag displaying code.

Post would be better in my opinion. Most people would expect stuff that changes the vanilla model to be in pre (scaling, rotating, etc) and additions to the rendering in post (health bars, rune circles, texts, etc). Following this allows other modders to cancel the event/modify stuff during the event without unexpected behaviors happening.

I have intercepted the RenderPlayerEvent and also created a second class that overrides Render, I then override renderName(Entity entity, double x, double y, double z) with my own code that adds another label. How can I use this new class and use it on the player instead of the old Render class?
