Insightful Spyglass

by Rosenoire

Insightful Spyglass shows the name of the block a player looks at through a spyglass, as a tooltip at the bottom of the screen.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

While a spyglass is held and aimed, the tooltip names the nearby block under the view. The name appears near the bottom of the screen, so the block can be identified before it is reached. Only the client needs the mod, and the server can run without it. Fabric API is required, and the files target 1.20.1 only.

Key features

  1. Block name lookup

    Holding a spyglass shows the name of the block being looked through, without a command or a separate key.

  2. Bottom-screen tooltip

    The block name appears as a tooltip at the bottom of the screen while the spyglass is in use.

  3. Obfuscated block tags

    Block tags can be obfuscated, so the name shown through the spyglass hides details of the block.
