What it does

The overlay measures the distance from the center of the player's head to the block being looked at, and displays it as a number. It helps when locating dimensions or other points that are far from the player. The readout's position, significant figures and colors can be changed in a config file, through Cloth Config and Mod Menu. Cloth Config API is required; Mod Menu is optional. Only the client needs the mod, and the code is open source under the MIT License, for Fabric 1.18.2 – 1.20.2.

  2. Configurable display
