Identifiable

Identifiable

(Fabric)

Know what you're looking at. A small panel names the block, creature or player
in front of you, even through water and lava, with health, harvest info, crop
growth, light level and more. Hold Z to zoom in and
identify things far away, and a crosshair can follow you into third person.

Fully customizable with many options.

FEATURES

What you see

• Look at something within range (5 blocks by default, up to 32) and a panel
  names it. With every display option on:
  [icon] Block: Wheat Crops
  Growth: 57%
  Light: 0 ⚠ Spawnable
  minecraft:wheat
  Minecraft
• The first line is always the name: "Block: Stone", "Entity: Zombie",
  "Player: Steve", "Item: Diamond ×3". Named creatures show their name.
• Then one line per topic, then the id and the mod's name on their own lines
  at the bottom. Lines with nothing to say are left out.
• Updates 10 times a second and disappears when you look at nothing.

Display options (each can be turned on or off)

• Show ID: the id, e.g. minecraft:stone, so blocks and mobs from other mods
  are easy to tell apart.
• Mod name: the mod it comes from, in blue, e.g. Minecraft.
• Icon: a picture of the block or item (a creature's spawn egg).
• Health: a creature's health, "♥ 15 / 20", with golden hearts as "+8".
• Armor: a creature's armor points, "⛨ 2".
• Player health: other players' health and armor (off by default: some
  servers see it as a PvP advantage).
• Block details: crop growth, redstone power, honey level, cake slices,
  compost and cauldron levels, repeater delay, note, lit, on/off,
  open/closed. Crops from other mods show their growth too.
• Harvest info: whether your tool can mine the block, and the tool it needs
  (that tier or better): "✔ Stone Pickaxe", "✘ Diamond Pickaxe",
  "✘ Pickaxe", or "Unbreakable". Nothing shows when anything can break it,
  and nothing in creative.
• Light level (off by default): the light where a mob would stand, "Light:
  7", with "⚠ Spawnable" when monsters can spawn there (by each dimension's
  own rule; sunlit spots only at night).
• Villager job: the job and its trading level (Novice to Master),
  "Librarian · Expert"; nitwits just "Nitwit". Nothing for villagers
  without a job or babies.
• Items: dropped items show their name and count; item frames and armor
  stands show what they hold.
• Spawner mob: which mob a spawner or trial spawner spawns.
• Breaking progress: a bar while you mine the block.
• Text align: lines start at the left, next to the icon (default), or sit in
  the middle of the panel.
• Long lines wrap; the panel is never wider than half the screen and shows at
  most 8 lines (the id and mod name always stay).
• Invisible creatures and players are never shown.

Hiding things

• Enabled (on the settings screen): turn Identifiable off completely.
• "Hide/show the panel" key: hides the panel until you press it again.
• "Hide/show what you look at" key: puts what you look at on a blacklist.
  The panel then only says "Hidden: Short Grass"; press the key on it again
  to show it again. Clear blacklist (Display Options) shows everything again.
• Both keys have no key assigned at first: set them under Options > Controls
  > Key Binds > Identifiable.

Sees through liquids

• Water and lava don't get in the way: you see the block or creature behind
  them.
• If there's nothing behind the liquid, the liquid itself is named.

Your look, your place

• Put the panel anywhere on screen (/idconfig > Position...): drag it with
  the mouse, click it once and click again where you want it (handy on
  trackpads and touchscreens), or nudge it with the arrow buttons.
• Or line it up: Left (10% in from the left edge), Center, or Right (10% in
  from the right edge, so longer names grow toward the middle). Lined up, it
  only moves up and down.
• 9 colors: white, yellow, red, green, blue, aqua, gold, light purple and
  gray.
• 4 sizes: Small, Normal, Large and Huge.
• 5 backgrounds, always sized to fit the text: Dark (a see-through dark box),
  Button, Advancement and Tooltip (Minecraft's own frames, so resource packs
  change them too) or None. The text also has a shadow.
• The position follows the screen size, so it stays in the same spot when
  you resize the window. The text and its background always stay on screen.

Zoom

• Hold Z to zoom in (4x), like a spyglass without the item. Let go to zoom
  back out.
• While zoomed, the mouse wheel zooms further in or out (2x to 10x) instead
  of changing your hotbar slot. Every zoom starts again at 4x.
• The zoom glides in smoothly, and turning the mouse slows down to match, so
  aiming stays steady.
• While zoomed, Identifiable reaches 128 blocks: zoom in on something far
  away to see what it is.
• Change the key under Options > Controls > Key Binds > Identifiable.

Third-person crosshair

• Optional: shows a crosshair in third person from behind, where Minecraft
  normally shows none.
• It is drawn on the exact spot you're aiming at, so it matches what you'd
  hit or use and what the text names.
• When you switch to third person it appears once the camera has settled,
  so it doesn't jump into place.

HQ COMPATIBILITY

With HQ installed, an "Identifiable" button in the HQ list opens /idconfig.
Without HQ the mod works exactly the same.

---

COMPATIBILITY & NOTES

• Client only: it doesn't need to be on the server.
• Creatures and players are only known to your game within roughly 48-128
  blocks (depending on the mob), so when zoomed far out only blocks may show.
• Z isn't used by vanilla Minecraft. (Many zoom mods use C, which vanilla
  uses for saving creative hotbars.)
• Works with blocks and mobs from other mods.
• Hidden with the rest of the HUD when you press F1.

  details, harvest info, light level, villager job, items, spawner mob and
