Welcome to my server

Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. The green cross marks the summon position (~ ~ ~).

Applied in Minecraft's order: right rotation first, then scale, then left rotation, then translation. Rotations turn around the entity origin - for block displays that is the block's corner, not its center.

Command

/summon minecraft:text_display ~ ~1 ~ {text:["",{text:"Welcome to ",color:"white"},{text:"my server",color:"green",bold:true}]}

Interpolation & advanced

Interpolation duration
Start interpolation
Teleport duration

In game ticks (20 = 1 s): when you later /data merge a new transformation, the display glides to it over the interpolation duration - teleport duration smooths /tp movement the same way.
