Text display

system:text

Shows text, a translation component or existing formatted text.

Nodes are written into the body or children of a resource pack card template. Besides their own fields, all nodes share id, style, when, unless and repeat; see Common node fields.

JSON fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
type	Resource ID	yes	—	system:text
text	String	no	""	Display text; supports {{key}} placeholders.
translate	String	no	""	Translation key; when non-empty, takes precedence over text.
args	String array	no	[]	List of translation argument strings; may contain placeholders.

JSON example

{
  "type": "system:text",
  "text": "{{summary}}"
}

Placed in the body of a card template or the children of a container. Placeholders come from server snapshots and client build events; changing only the JSON does not produce the missing data or business handlers.
