The Display Entity Config controls properties for rendered display entities.

You can open it from the outliner context menu on supported nodes:

  • Groups
  • Item Displays
  • Block Displays
  • Text Displays

What This Config Affects

This dialog stores two kinds of settings:

  • Node-level settings
  • Per-variant settings

Node-level settings

These are stored once on the node:

  • On Summon Function

Per-variant settings

These are selected using the variant dropdown in the dialog and can differ per variant:

  • On Apply Function
  • Billboard
  • Brightness override settings
  • Enchanted (not available on Text Displays)
  • Glowing (not available on Text Displays)
  • Glow color override (not available on Text Displays)
  • Shadow settings

Field Reference

On Summon Function

Runs when the rig is summoned for that node.

Use this for setup commands that should happen once when the node entity is created.

Variant Selector

Selects which variant you are editing config for.

  • Default writes to the node default display config.
  • Other entries write per-variant overrides.

On Apply Function

Runs when that variant is applied and this node has a config override for that variant.

Use this for variant-specific command logic.

Billboard

Controls how the display entity faces the viewer:

  • Fixed: no billboard pivoting
  • Vertical: pivots on vertical axis
  • Horizontal: pivots on horizontal axis
  • Center: pivots around center

Override Brightness

Enables explicit light override for the node.

When enabled, two values are used:

  • Sky Brightness: 0 to 15
  • Block Brightness: 0 to 15

Enchanted

Adds the enchanted glint to applicable display entities.

This option is not available for Text Displays.

Glowing

Enables vanilla glowing effect for applicable display entities.

This option is not available for Text Displays.

Override Glow Color

If enabled, sets a custom glow color using Glow Color.

This option is not available for Text Displays.

Glow Color

Hex color used when Override Glow Color is enabled.

Shadow Radius

Controls shadow radius. Slider range in the dialog is 0 to 15.

Shadow Strength

Controls shadow strength. Slider range in the dialog is 0 to 15.

Important Behavior Notes

  • Per-variant settings are only applied when variant logic runs.
  • If a variant has no override for a node, the node keeps its current/default display config.
  • The Invisible flag exists internally in config data but is not currently exposed in this dialog UI.

Copy/Paste Config

The context menu also includes:

  • Copy Display Entity Config
  • Paste Display Entity Config

This copies On Summon Function and all display config data from one supported node to another.
