Ember's Text API

Embers Text API v2.0.0

Major Changes

• Unified Effect Registry — All visual effects live in one composable system. Effects are registered by name, stack on text spans, and apply per-character.

• Span-Based Rendering — Messages are now built from TextSpan objects, each with independent styling and effects. Replaces the old global-styling model.

• Effect Composition — Multiple effects can be stacked on the same text. They process in order, each modifying the state left by the previous.

  New Effects (18 total)

• Color: rainbow, gradient (with HSV mode + animation), pulse, fade

• Motion: wave, shake, bounce, circle, wiggle, pendulum, swing, scroll, turbulence

• Special: glitch (with chromatic aberration), neon glow (multi-ring, quality presets), shadow

• Animation: typewriter (with sounds, looping, reset delay), obfuscate (4 modes, 5 directions)  * New Features

• Preset System — Reusable effect bundles defined in JSON, usable as markup tags. Three built-in: epic, legendary, spooky.

• Inline Entity Rendering — Entity models can appear inline in text with rotation, spin, and animation controls.

• Parameter Validation — All numeric effect parameters are clamped to safe ranges.

  Deprecated

• Old TextColor[] gradient arrays on TextSpan — use instead.

• Old charShake / ShakeType properties — use , , or .

• Legacy single-direction obfuscation on ImmersiveMessage — use with direction.
