Component View
Component View shows the data components attached to an item's tooltip, so a player can see the stack's internal values while hovering over it.
What it does
The mod is a simple client-side tool for inspecting item data. Once installed, hovering over an ItemStack in the inventory or any other screen shows its components in the tooltip, as a list of component types and their values. Holding Shift reveals the component types and values in more detail, and the highlight colors are configurable.
Advanced tooltips are switched on with the control, alt, command or option keys, which are the Mac equivalents. Pressing these keys attempts to translate a component type into a readable name through its identifier. The configuration can be changed through Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib, and the mod works without either of them installed.
Component View is released under the MIT-0 license and is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public. Files exist for 1.20.6 and 1.21, and the latest Fabric and Quilt builds are version 1.0.7 for 1.21, published on 2024-07-12.
