IsItWaxed
by SkyWors
With IsItWaxed, a player can see at a glance whether the block in front of them has been waxed, shown as a small HUD element on screen.
What it does
The HUD element indicates whether the targeted block is waxed, which matters for copper blocks that can be waxed to stop oxidation. It is placed in one of eight screen positions, from the middle left to the bottom right, so it can sit away from the crosshair. The text color can be changed and the shadow behind it can be removed, and the element can be turned off entirely.
The indicator only needs to run on the client, so players can use it on any server without installing anything extra. It requires Fabric API and works with the Fabric loader for game versions 1.21.7 – 1.21.10. The optional reconfigure mod gives access to a config menu, where the display can be changed without editing files.
The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. Its inspiration is the Waxed Waxed concept, and the text is built on that idea.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who build with waxable copper blocks and want to know their state while looking at them. The indicator is useful for players who play on servers, since only the client needs the mod.
How it compares
ArmorStatus is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, which is not open source. MiddleClickExtra is client-side for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and also under All rights reserved. WaxedIcons is client-side for 1.20.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License and is open source, so its source is available to read. IsItWaxed only covers 1.21.7 – 1.21.10, which sets it apart from the newer 1.21.11 release of ArmorStatus.
