+# mcl_title
+
+Allow mods to show messages in the hud of players.
+
+## mcl_title.set(player, type, data)
+
+Show a hud message of `type` to player `player` with `data` as params.
+
+The element will stay for the per-player param `stay` or `data.stay` (in gametick which is 1/20 second).
+
+Here is a usage exemple:
+
+```lua
+--show a title in the HUD with minecraft color "gold" 
+mcl_title.set(player, "title", {text="dummy text", color="gold"})
+
+--show a subtitle in the HUD with hex color "#612D2D" 
+mcl_title.set(player, "subtitle", {text="dummy subtitle", color="#612D2D"})
+
+--show an actionbar in the HUD (above the hotbar) with minecraft color "red"
+mcl_title.set(player, "subtitle", {text="dummy actionbar", color="red"})
+
+--show a title in the HUD with minecraft color "gold" staying for 3 seconds (override stay setting)
+mcl_title.set(player, "title", {text="dummy text", color="gold", stay=3})
+```
+
+## mcl_title.remove(player, type)
+
+Hide HUD element of type `type` for player `player`.
+
+## mcl_title.clear(player)
+
+Remove every title/subtitle/actionbar from a player.
+Basicaly run `mcl_title.remove(player, type)` for every type.
+
+## mcl_title.params_set(player, params)
+
+Allow mods to set `stay` and upcomming `fadeIn`/`fadeOut` params.
+
+```lua
+mcl_title.params_set(player, {stay = 600}) --elements with no 'data.stay' field will stay during 30s (600/20)
+```
