Held Item Info is a client-side mod designed to significantly enhance the user experience in Minecraft by providing immediate and clear information about the item a player is currently holding. This mod addresses the common need to quickly access details such as enchantments, potion effects, or the contents of containers without needing to open complex inventories or external tools. By displaying this vital data directly beneath the item's name in the player's hotbar, it streamlines gameplay, allowing players to make informed decisions on the fly, whether they are crafting, fighting, or exploring, thus reducing friction and improving overall efficiency in various in-game scenarios. This dynamic display of information is crucial for players who want to optimize their actions and maintain a clear understanding of their inventory at all times, making every interaction more intuitive and effective. The functionality of Held Item Info is centered around its ability to dynamically display a wealth of information about the item you are holding. It achieves this by integrating with the game's rendering system to overlay text directly onto the player's screen. This includes a comprehensive list of enchantments applied to weapons, tools, or armor, the specific potion effects that are active on a held potion, and the contents of containers like Shulker Boxes and Bundles. Furthermore, it can reveal details such as firework attributes, commands within command blocks, the number of bees in nests, projectiles in a crossbow, lore text, and much more, offering a truly detailed insight into your held items. This extensive range of displayed information ensures that players are always fully aware of the capabilities and properties of their current equipment. This mod is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and the 26.x series, specifically versions 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. It is designed to work with both the Fabric and Quilt mod loaders, ensuring broad accessibility for a wide range of players. Importantly, Held Item Info is a client-side mod, meaning it is required on the player's client only and is unsupported on the server side. This distinction is crucial for installation and server performance, as it does not impose any additional load on server resources, making it an ideal addition for single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike. Its client-side nature means that server administrators do not need to install anything for their players to use this mod. Installing Held Item Info is a straightforward process for users of Fabric and Quilt mod loaders. For Fabric, the mod file should be placed in the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft installation directory. Similarly, for Quilt, the same procedure applies: place the mod file into the 'mods' folder. Before launching the game, it is essential to ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed. Specifically, this mod requires Fabric API to be present in your mods folder for it to function correctly. Additionally, if you wish to toggle individual display options, you will need Mod Menu and a recent version of Cloth Config installed. These dependencies ensure full functionality and customization options for the mod.
