How to use

This mod adds a Label printer which is an item that can set a label and an icon to a container.

Printing labels:

To use the Label Printer, right-click while holding it, and it’ll open a menu where you can set your icon and label. Finally, have paper in your inventory and shift-right-click a chest or compatible container to set them.

Copying labels from existing ones:

When holding the Label Printer, shift-right-click to switch to Copy mode.
Then shift-right-click on a container that has a label already set to copy its icon and text.

Commands

/labelposition

Sets the current player’s HUD position.
Available positions are:

• center-right (default)
• center-left
• left
• top
• top-left

Examples:

• Set the current HUD position to left:

  /labelposition left

/setlabel

Requires admin permissions. Sets the label / icon of the selected container.

Examples:

• Setting the label of a block at x y z coordinates:

  /setlabel x y z label I'm a dirt chest!

• Setting the icon of a block at x y z coordinates:

  /setlabel x y z icon minecraft:dirt

/labelconfig

Requires admin permissions. Adds/removes blocks that can be labeled from the config.

NOTE: All blocks that have a Block Entity associated with them can be labeled.

To check if a block can be added to the config and used correctly try shift-right-clicking on it with the
Label Printer item,
and if it displays something like “You can’t tag this block”, that block can be added to the config

Examples:

• Add the Bell block to the config:

  /labelconfig add-item minecraft:bell

• Add the Bell block to the config (while having the block in player’s hand):

  /labelconfig add-hand

• Remove the Bell block from the config:

  /labelconfig remove-item minecraft:bell

• Remove the Bell block from the config (while having the block in player’s hand):

  /labelconfig remove-hand
