QuickGlance
by pixiemays
QuickGlance lets players read the contents of furnaces and other containers on a small heads-up display without opening them.
What it does
A minimalist overlay shows the resources and fuel inside a furnace while the player walks past or looks at it. The display can be moved, offset along the X and Y axes so it fits the screen, and animated in or out with adjustable speed and duration. A grace period keeps the overlay from flickering when the player makes quick mouse movements.
QuickGlance is installed on the client only, so a server does not need it and players connecting to a server do not need it either. It runs on Fabric and requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, with Mod Menu optional for opening its settings. Files are published for 26.2 only, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0+26.2, dated 2026-08-18. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Furnace contents overlay
Shows fuel and resources inside a furnace on the HUD, so the player can check progress without opening the block.
Adjustable HUD position
Where the overlay sits can be chosen freely across the screen, and an offset along each of the horizontal and vertical axes lets it line up exactly.
Animation controls
Animation speed and the duration of the appear and disappear animations can be set to taste.
Grace period
A configurable delay before the HUD hides keeps it from flashing during brief or random mouse movements.
