Identify Blocks and Mobs Fast with the Minimap and WAILA Tooltip

Bedrock Reimagined adds two interface tools: a custom minimap and a WAILA tooltip that shows details about whatever block or mob you are looking at. Together they make it much easier to scout new biomes and spot danger before it reaches you.

Using the WAILA tooltip

1. Look straight at any block or creature. The crosshair is what matters, so aim at it directly.

2. Read the tooltip that appears. It shows details about your target, so you know what you are dealing with before you mine it or start a fight.

3. Use it on unfamiliar ores. The addon introduces new ores, and the tooltip tells you what a block is before you spend tool durability on it.

4. Check mobs before engaging. The addon adds revamped hostile mobs, mini-bosses and bosses, so aim at an unknown creature from a safe distance to see what it is.

Navigating with the minimap

• Keep the minimap in view while travelling. It helps you track terrain as you cross the addon's new biomes and its reworked vanilla terrain.
• Use it to find your way back after exploring winding procedural mineshafts or chasing a boss far from home.
• Combine the two tools. Spot something interesting on the map, walk to it, and then aim at it to read the tooltip.

Tip: If either element is missing from your screen, check that both the addon's behavior pack and resource pack are enabled in the world's settings. Interface elements usually depend on the resource pack.
