Insight
by chhannn1
Insight shows floating 3D tooltips and widgets for entities, dropped items, crop growth and bed timers, with an optional TargetHUD panel.
What it does
Insight draws information in the world rather than in a fixed interface. Tooltips and GUI widgets float near entities, dropped items, crops and beds, so a player can read a mob's health, check what a stack on the ground is, see how far a crop has grown or count down to the next night without opening a menu. The tooltips are meant as a general display layer, so other content can also be placed into it.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server that runs without it. It requires Architectury API, Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only. The author describes the project as early beta, so some bugs should be expected.
Key features
3D floating tooltips
Information appears as floating tooltips and GUIs positioned in the 3D scene, not in a fixed overlay.
Dropped item readout
Items on the ground show their names, which helps when a block is unrecognizable or a stack is hard to spot.
Bed timer
A timer shows how long remains until night, so a player knows when the next night arrives.
TargetHUD panel
An optional panel shows the targeted entity's health, and a smart positioning option moves it to a spot that stays visible from the current view.
Configurable display
Most elements can be adjusted in the config screen, and Mod Menu is recommended on Fabric for opening it.
