Component Viewer

by fixyldev

Component Viewer lets players inspect the data components of any item stack in a tooltip, then copy those values to the clipboard.

What it does

Holding ALT in a game screen displays the components attached to the item under the cursor, one at a time. Tapping DOWN moves to the next component. Values are shown in a nicely formatted layout, using SNBT or JSON notation, so nested data is easier to read than in a raw tooltip. The mod is configurable from inside the game without installing other mods, and its settings open with a press of the J key.

Because some component tooltips grow very large, the author suggests pairing the mod with a scrolling tooltip mod such as Tooltip Scroll, or copying the data into a separate text file. Component Viewer is client-side only, so servers run without it and players need nothing extra on the server. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt; on NeoForge it runs on its own. Files are published for 1.20.5 – 26.3 across Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and the license is MIT, so the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Component tooltips

    Each component on an item stack appears as its own tooltip, so its contents can be read without opening a command.

  2. Formatted values

    Component data is shown in SNBT or JSON notation, with indentation that keeps nested structures readable.

  3. Copy to clipboard

    The values of a component can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into another program or a text file.

  4. In-game configuration

    Options can be changed in the game, with the settings screen opened by pressing J, and no extra configuration mod is needed.

  5. Translations

    The interface has been translated into several languages, and the author invites contributors to add more under the contributing guidelines.
