WIMBY - Where Is My Block, Yo!

by Lexndr

WIMBY, short for Where Is Me Block, Yo, is a Forge utility that reports block data for the block a spyglass points at.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Using a spyglass on a block shows its block position and ID in the top left of the screen. Holding crouch expands that readout with extended details such as emission, sky light and block light. The spyglass reads through entities and reports only block data, so mobs and items in the way do not hide the result.

WIMBY is set up for client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. Files target 1.20.1 only and are released under the MIT License. The source is not open source.

Key features

  1. Block position and ID

    Aiming a spyglass at a block displays its position and identifier in the top left of the screen.

  2. Extended block details

    Holding crouch adds emission, sky light and block light values to the readout for the targeted block.

  3. Entities ignored

    The spyglass looks through entities and returns block data only, so mobs in the line of sight do not block the read.
