ICY

by tracystacktrace

ICY is a client-side tooltip mod for ModLoader that shows information about the block the player aims at with the cursor.

What it does

When the cursor rests on a block, ICY opens a description panel with its name, id and metadata, and a specific information block for the aimed block. The panel shows whether a container is empty or filled, the power value of a piston, whether a carved pumpkin or watermelon is in place, which type of carving it holds, and the loot status of a dungeon chest.

Blocks with extra state get their own lines: a wait block shows its delay, a bonsai planter reports the planted tree type and growth, and furnaces, incinerators and similar machines show progress and inventory contents. Entities and item frames are covered too, showing the hanged item name or a painting title. The author describes it as a ReIndev-era counterpart to WAILA. Files target only b1.7.3, and the mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Questions

Does ICY need ModLoader to run?

Yes. The mod is published for ModLoader only, for b1.7.3, and it runs on the client alone.

Does the server need ICY installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Are snapshot builds available?

What the author says

A FoxLoader (ReIndev mod loader) client-side modification that adds a handy tooltip which reveals some info about the block you aim with your cursor. Basically, the nearest similar mod that come to my mind is WAILA, but this mod is specifically designed for ReIndev mechanics and environment.
