WaxedIcons
by FanyaOff
WaxedIcons adds a waxed icon to waxed blocks, so players can tell at a glance which copper and similar blocks have been sealed with honeycomb.
What it does
The icon appears on blocks that carry waxed variants in their item identifier. The mod checks whether an item id contains the word waxed, which lets it pick up other mods that add waxed blocks without a separate list. It is a Fabric mod for the client, so a server does not need it, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Support covers 1.20.1 and the 1.21.x line, with files through 26.3. The latest Fabric file, 1.2+26.3, was published for 26.3 on 2026-10-11. The mod was first published on 2025-01-28 and last updated on the same date as its newest file. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Waxed block icon
A honeycomb icon is drawn on blocks whose item id contains waxed, showing their sealed state.

Other mods that add waxed blocks are covered by the same id check, with no extra setup.
Cloth Config menu
An integration gives access to a redesigned configuration menu with a default and an alternative honeycomb icon style.
No cloth-config dependency
