Knowledges
With Knowledges installed, a player who looks at a block, entity, fluid or piece of armor can read its details on screen without leaving the game.
What it does
Knowledges shows game information such as block states, entity data, fluid details and armor durability in a compact on-screen view. Six components ship enabled out of the box, covering block details, entity details, fluid details, armor durability, the time of day when read from a Clock Item Frame, and a block's breaking progress. The mod also exposes an extensible component data API, so other mods can register their own components through its entrypoints.
Fabric API is required, and the mod is built for Fabric and Quilt. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source code repository and an issue tracker. Builds cover 1.18 – 1.20.4, with 13 release versions in that range; the latest file for both loaders is 5.1.2-fabric1.20 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-05-07. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players can run without it.
