Star's Trapping Utils
by Star100
Players who build rail traps can read the minecarts, snow golems, armor stands, arrows and wind charges near a trap from the HUD, using Star's Trapping Utils on the client.
What it does
Standing near a rail, a player sees the supported entities occupying that block shown as counts on the HUD, each paired with its item icon. Covered entities include TNT, hopper, chest, furnace, command block, spawner and empty minecarts, along with snow golems, armor stands, arrows and wind charges. The counts make it quicker to check what a trap holds without tallying each entity by hand.
The mod is aimed at players who build minecart traps, projectile traps and golem traps and want to read a trap's contents at a glance. Its display only reports nearby entities, and it does not change how any entity behaves on the server. Installing it on a client is enough, because the server needs nothing added for it to work.
Star's Trapping Utils targets Fabric and is published for 1.21.11 and 26.2, with the latest file, 7.0.0, dated 2026-09-29. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so the source is not open source. Credits list MrNoFade for the 1.21.11 build, Star100 for the original idea and tsgabe for the later builds.

Rail-block inspection
