Debug Modded Entities and Identify Their Source

Finding Which Mod an Entity Belongs To

When playing with multiple mods, unfamiliar entities can appear. The Information Stick reveals their origin instantly:

1. Encounter an unknown entity

2. Use /ist or /informationstick to get the stick

3. Hit the entity with the stick

4. Check the chat output for the Mod Origin field

This tells you exactly which mod added that entity.

Troubleshooting Entity Issues

If a modded entity isn't behaving as expected, the Information Stick helps diagnose problems:

• Verify the entity type matches what the mod documentation claims
• Check coordinates to ensure entities are spawning in intended locations
• Monitor ticks existed to see if entities are despawning prematurely
• Confirm silence status if sound issues occur

Share this data with mod developers or community forums when reporting bugs—it provides concrete evidence of what's actually happening in your world.
