Identify - What Am I Looking At? Block & Mob Info

Identify is a small client-side mod for Minecraft on Fabric or NeoForge, compatible with Mod Menu (Fabric) / the built-in config screen (NeoForge).

Supported versions: 26.1 to 26.3.

Features

• Block and entity panel - the icon, name, and owning mod of whatever is under your crosshair, out to a configurable range.
• Mob intel - health with armor, baby grow-up and breeding timers, a pet's owner, a villager's profession and level, a horse's speed and jump height, active effects, and the item a mob is holding. The panel shows at most four detail lines, so it stays compact.
• Block details - crop growth, redstone power, the best tool (and tier) to mine the block, what a spawner spawns, a beacon's tier, range and effects, and a beehive's honey level.
• Item tooltips - remaining durability with a percentage, hunger and saturation for food, and how many items a fuel smelts.
• Equipment comparison - hold Shift over armor or a weapon to see how it compares with what you have equipped, such as +2 Armor, +2 Toughness.
• Placement - two sliders move the panel anywhere on screen, from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner, at any GUI scale.
• Configurable - toggle blocks, entities, icon, details, mod name, and item comparison, and adjust range and position.
• Client-side only - there is nothing to install on a server.

Some information depends on where you play:

• Exact grow-up and breeding timers, and fuel values on 26.3, come from the integrated server, so they are available in singleplayer and on a LAN host. On other servers a baby animal is shown as just "Baby".
• Servers do not send other mobs' active effects to clients, so the effects line only appears in singleplayer (and for yourself).
• A pet's owner is looked up in the player list, so the name only shows while the owner is online. Otherwise the panel shows "Tamed".
