Show Everything (Forge port)
by xxtg666
Show Everything lets players post the item, block, fluid, entity or chat line they are holding or looking at into chat, with hover details for each.
What it does
Show Everything is a Forge port of the MinersLab show-everything mod, distributed for Forge and NeoForge. Its commands let a player display an item, block, fluid, entity or chat message to everyone in the chat, and hovering over the shared element reveals its details. Installation needs the mod on the server, while a client without it can still join.
Clients that install the mod get enhanced rendering of the shown item, including large item NBT. Clients without it receive a shortened hover text instead, so oversized NBT cannot disconnect players because of the chat packet string limit. The commands are available to normal players, and short aliases without hyphens, such as showitem and showblock, are registered as well.
The mod is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest Forge and NeoForge builds are 1.0.5 for 1.20.1 and 1.0.5 for 1.21.1, both released on 2026-07-27.
Key features
Item and block display
Players show a held or targeted item or block in chat, with its full hover details attached.
Fluids and entities
Fluids and entities can be displayed in chat in the same way as items and blocks.
Chat messages
A chat message can be reposted through the same command system, so it can be referenced later.
Short command aliases
Commands are also registered as aliases without hyphens, such as showitem and showblock, for quicker typing.

How it compares
ItemPeek is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.20.1 – 26.3. Showcase Item is also client and server, but it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 and is not open source, with builds for 1.16.5 – 26.1. ItemToChat is a server-required, client-optional Forge mod for 1.16.5 under All rights reserved, so it covers a narrower version range.

What the author says
Forge port of MinersLab/show-everything. Show items, blocks, fluids, and entities in chat with hover details. The command logic runs on the server, and the mod declares remote clients as optional, so vanilla/Forge clients without this mod can still join.
