WTP, or What's This Pack, is a simple modpack identifier for those of you who make modpacks and would like your users to have that extra bit of pizzazz in their pack. All it does is writes lines of text in any corner of the main menu. You can write multiple lines at once or have it cycle through them randomly. The text and the color of each string are individually customizable, and this can even be used to throw a little message to your users.
======================================================================
WTP is licensed under the LGPL v3, and it's made specifically for use in modpacks, so please, I encourage you to include it in any modpack, public or private, to your heart's content. Send me a PM too of you have the time, I'd love to check out your pack!
======================================================================
Please note:
WTP is client-side ONLY. There really isn't anywhere for it to display in a server and would likely just crash your server, so please just include it in your client-packs if you also offer server downloads.

Does/Can the message alternate between different message each log in? Or is it only one?
In reply to Boolyman:
Better Title Screen is more customizable. :/
This is one of the best mods I have seen in a while,, not because of how technical or useful it is (though it is SUPER useful), because of how simple the idea and how it can help modpack creators like me. Keep up the good work :)
I’m going to release a modpack containing one or more of your mods soon, assuming all the conditions for gaining permission are met. I figured I’d let you know. Here’s a link for information and a detailed mod list on the modpack, in case you’re interested: http://noopynolife.webklik.nl/page/nolifepack
If for any reason I’m not allowed to use your mod, please let me know in time.
:D
Gonna try this out, like the concept and have been looking for something like this for a bit. Thanks for the mod!
Here's a link to our 1.7.10 mod pack, with 266 mods (about to be 267), enjoy! We also have a server if interested in visiting/playing.

I realize this is a WIP, but the text all shows up on a single line.
wish there was a 1.6.4 version :'(
Could you make this for 1.6.4 too please ?
