Interaction Hint
by VaxxDev
Interaction Hint shows a short prompt on screen when the player looks at something that can be used, and it adds a dedicated key for the interaction.
What it does
The client-side display shows context-sensitive hints that change with what the crosshair points at, so players see which action is available before pressing anything. The hints are kept small so they do not crowd the rest of the screen, and the mod is built with story-driven RPG adventure modpacks in mind, where knowing what an object does matters.
A dedicated interaction key, bound to F by default, triggers the action. Standard mouse controls stay unchanged, so the key is an addition rather than a replacement. The mod includes localization support for translated hint text.
The mod is released for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.19.2 and 1.21.1. It runs on the client alone, so only players need to install it, and the server does not. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Context-sensitive hints
Prompts appear for the block, entity or object under the crosshair and update as the view changes.
Dedicated interaction key
An extra key, set to F by default, performs the interaction without changing mouse input.
Unobtrusive display
Hints are drawn compactly so they stay readable without covering much of the game view.
Localization support
Hint text can be translated, so players can read prompts in their own language.
