Whats This

by DanyGames2014

Whats This shows, for the block a player is pointing at, an in-game overlay with details about that block's state and contents.

What it does

The overlay is driven by the block entity the player points at and reports information about it while the player looks at the block. Other mods can register their own providers, and the information they supply is added to the probe display on the player's screen. The mod is a fork of the One Probe Beta for Minecraft Beta, carrying over its approach with providers adjusted to be more applicable to this version. It needs Glass Config API and StationAPI, and runs on Fabric or Babric for b1.7.3 only, with snapshot builds published. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly available.

Key features

  1. Block entity overlay

    An overlay shows information about the block entity the player is pointing at, updating as the view changes.

  2. Provider system

    Other mods can register their own providers, so their data joins the probe display without extra setup.

  3. Singleplayer and multiplayer display

    On a server, information is read from the server side and sent to the player's screen, while singleplayer shows it directly.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Yes. StationAPI and Glass Config API are required dependencies and must be installed alongside Whats This.
