EmbersTextAPI Integration

When EmbersTextAPI is installed alongside Loot Log, you can use rich text markup in override text fields to apply animated effects like rainbow colors, glowing text, and more.

---

Setup

1. Install EmbersTextAPI (v2.9.1+) alongside Loot Log
2. Loot Log detects EmbersTextAPI automatically at runtime — no additional configuration needed

note

EmbersTextAPI is entirely optional. Without it, markup tags in override text fields are rendered as plain text.

---

Using Markup in Overrides

Use the text.markup field in override JSON. The {name} placeholder is replaced with the item's display name.

Rainbow Item Name

{
  "match": { "type": "item", "id": "minecraft:diamond" },
  "text": { "markup": "<rainbow f=2.0>{name}</rainbow>" }
}

Combined Effects

{
  "match": { "type": "rarity", "id": "epic" },
  "text": { "markup": "<gradient from=FF55FF to=AA00FF>{name}</gradient>" }
}

Available Effects

EmbersTextAPI provides a wide range of text effects. Some commonly used with Loot Log:

Tag	Description
<rainbow>	Cycles through rainbow colors
<gradient from=X to=Y>	Smooth color gradient
<wave>	Wavy vertical text animation
<shake>	Shaking/vibrating text
<bounce>	Bouncing text animation
<color hex=X>	Static custom color
