Input Viewer
by dqwertyc.dev
Input Viewer shows the keys a player is pressing on a small device placed in the world, built from an observer and four gold ingots.
What it does
The device has red sections that light up as the player presses each input, so keystrokes can be read at a glance on screen. A held item in the offhand is drawn facing the player, which makes it easier to read. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Builds target 26.3 and are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Input display device

Crafted from an observer
The input tracker is crafted from an observer and four gold ingots, so it needs no commands or special items.
Offhand item display
The item held in the offhand is shown directly facing the player for easier readability.
