Lily’s Floating Texts
Lily’s Floating Texts is a Minecraft Bedrock add-on that lets you create, edit, and manage floating texts directly in-game with an easy UI menu.
Create simple floating text, live scoreboard displays, scoreboard-powered text, and blinking animated text displays without needing command blocks or complicated setup.
This add-on is perfect for servers, maps, lobbies, minigames, shops, counters, leaderboards, information boards, and decorative floating messages.
Features
Floating Texts
Create floating text anywhere in your world.
You can use them for:
Welcome messages
Rules
Shop signs
NPC labels
Lobby information
Map instructions
Decorations
Floating texts support multiple lines by using:
Example:
Welcome to the server!\nHave fun!
Floating Scoreboards
Create live floating leaderboards using any scoreboard objective in your world.
You can customize:
Scoreboard objective
Position
Ascending or descending order
Player numbering
Number color
Player name color
Score color
Amount of displayed players
Example uses:
Top kills
Top money
Top deaths
Top wins
Top playtime
Minigame rankings
Scoreboard + Text
This text type works like normal floating text, but it can also display live scoreboard values inside the text.
Use this format:
Example:
The counter is at: [time:counters]
If the fake player time has a score in the counters objective, the floating text will automatically show the current value.
More examples:
Money: [Steve:money]
Kills: [Alex:kills]
Server Time: [time:clock]
Players Online: [online:players]
This also works without scoreboard placeholders, so it can still be used like normal text.
Blinking Text + Scoreboard
Create animated floating text that swaps between two messages after a custom number of ticks.
You can choose:
First text
Second text
Swap delay in ticks
Position
Both messages support scoreboard placeholders.
Example:
First text:
§d§lThe Counter is at §4: [counter:time]
Second text:
§e§lThe players online are §4: [online:players]
Swap delay:
20
Every 20 ticks, the displayed text swaps between the first and second message.
This is useful for:
Animated lobby messages
Rotating tips
Changing announcements
Live counters
Alternating server stats
Attention-grabbing signs
In-Game UI
The add-on includes a custom menu item:
Use the menu to:
Create new floating text
Create new floating scoreboard
Create scoreboard + text
Create blinking text + scoreboard
Edit loaded floating texts
Delete loaded floating texts safely
The edit menu only shows floating texts that are currently in loaded chunks.
Safe Deletion System
Floating texts are protected from accidental deletion.
If a floating text is killed using commands like:
/kill @e[type=egg,family=floating_text]
or removed by damage, the add-on will attempt to instantly respawn it with the same saved data.
Floating texts should be permanently removed only through the add-on UI.
A special delete menu is included so admins can safely remove selected loaded floating texts.
Scoreboard Placeholder Format
Use this format inside supported text types:
Example:
The counter is at: [time:counters]
This means:
Get the score of player/fake-player "time" from objective "counters"
You can use real player names or fake scoreboard players.
Example commands:
/scoreboard objectives add counters dummy counters
/scoreboard players set time counters 5
Then use this in a floating text:
The result will display:
Formatting Support
Minecraft formatting codes can be used in text.
Examples:
§aGreen Text
§cRed Text
§lBold Text
§d§lPink Bold Text
Example:
§d§lThe Counter is at §4: [counter:time]
Good For
Survival servers
Creative plots
Adventure maps
Minigame lobbies
Shops
Scoreboard displays
Roleplay maps
Hub worlds
Parkour maps
Events
Server announcements

The add-on uses hidden floating entities to display text in the world. Floating texts in unloaded chunks will not appear in the edit menu until their chunk is loaded again.
For best results, use the UI to create, edit, and delete floating texts.
