What it does

When a player looks at a block, its name appears near the center of the screen. The display is meant for quick identification: a player who is unsure what a block is can read its name without opening a menu or consulting an external reference. The overlay is simple and clean, and it shows only the name of the block under the crosshair.

The mod is described by its author as lightweight, with little performance impact. It is written for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest files cover game versions 1.12.2 and 1.21.11. Because the environment is client-side only, only the player needs it, and servers can run without it. The author notes that it works with resource packs, so texture packs do not interfere with the displayed names.

The code is released under the MIT License, which allows use, modification and redistribution, but the project is not open source. Files for 1.21.11 were published on 2026-08-11, and the first release came out on 2026-03-05.
