BetterHud Feature Request — Compatibility With Text Effect Pack (rendertype_text Conflict) #325
Description
🐞 Feature Description
I am actively using BetterHud together with Nexo on my server. I also want to install the Text Effect Pack, but the Text Effect Pack uses the rendertype_text shader, which causes a render conflict with BetterHud.
Currently, I only have two options:
- Either HUD works,
- Or Text Effect Pack works,
but not both at the same time.
If I manually merge the shader files from BetterHud and the Text Effect Pack, it works, but:
- It requires advanced shader knowledge,
- It takes hours to merge correctly,
- Even then, glitches and broken rendering still appear.
I am requesting a feature that allows BetterHud to be compatible with the Text Effect Pack, or an alternative rendering method that avoids rendertype_text conflicts.
📝 Important Note (Regarding Nexo)
This request is completely independent from Nexo.
I am NOT asking for closed-source plugin support.
The issue is between BetterHud and the Text Effect Pack’s shader pipeline, not Nexo.
Therefore, this request does NOT violate the "no closed-source plugin support" rule.
🌍 Environment
- Java version: Java 21
- Server software: Paper/Leaf 1.21.8
- BetterHud version: 1.14.1-SNAPSHOT-439
- Text Effect Pack version: 1.1
✔️ Expected Solution
Possible solutions:
- A compatibility mode for shader-based text effects,
- An alternative render layer that does not conflict with
rendertype_text, - An automatic shader merge/patch system,
- Or any solution the developer finds appropriate.
Using BetterHud and Text Effect Pack together would significantly improve visual quality and HUD functionality.
