mctextrender 9.9.9

A rendering library for Minecraft-style text and images

Minecraft-Style Text Rendering

This library provides utilities to render Minecraft-style text onto images with support for colors, alignment, and shadows. It also makes it easy to combine background and overlay images.

Currently, bold, italic, and bold italic formatting are not supported.

Features

• Load and render background images.
• Draw text with Minecraft color codes.
• Draw multiple text entries with different positions/alignments.
• Add overlay images on top of backgrounds.
• Export the final result to a file or bytes.

Usage Examples

1. Draw Text onto a Background and Save

from mctextrender import BackgroundImageLoader, ImageRender

# Load the background image from file
bg = BackgroundImageLoader("path_to_your_img.png")

# Initialize an ImageRender instance with the loaded background 
img = ImageRender(bg.load_image())

# Draw text onto the image
img.text.draw(
    "&aHello &bMinecraft!",
    {
        "position": (50, 50), 
        "font_size": 24, 
        "shadow_offset": (2, 2)
    }
)

# Save the final image
img.save("path_to_save_img.png")

2. Draw Multiple Texts onto a Background and Save

from mctextrender import BackgroundImageLoader, ImageRender

# Load the background image from file
bg = BackgroundImageLoader("path_to_your_img.png")

# Initialize an ImageRender instance with the loaded background 
img = ImageRender(bg.load_image())

# Draw multiple texts
img.text.draw_many([
    ("&cRed Left", {"position": (20, 40), "align": "left", "font_size": 20}),
    ("&9Blue Centered", {"position": (200, 90), "align": "center", "font_size": 22}),
    ("&aGreen Right", {"position": (380, 140), "align": "right", "font_size": 20}),
],
    {"shadow_offset": (2, 2)}
)

# Save the final image
img.save("path_to_save_img.png")

3. Draw Text and Overlay an Image, then Save

from mctextrender import BackgroundImageLoader, ImageRender

# Load the background image from file
bg = BackgroundImageLoader("path_to_your_img.png")

# Initialize an ImageRender instance with the loaded background 
img = ImageRender(bg.load_image())

# Draw multiple texts
img.text.draw_many([
    ("&cRed Left", {"position": (20, 40), "align": "left", "font_size": 20}),
    ("&9Blue Centered", {"position": (200, 90), "align": "center", "font_size": 22}),
    ("&aGreen Right", {"position": (380, 140), "align": "right", "font_size": 20}),
],
    {"shadow_offset": (2, 2)}
)

# Overlay another image on top of the background
im.overlay_image(bg.load_image("path_to_your_overlay_img.png"))

# Save the final image
img.save("path_to_save_img.png")
