Read and Understand Entity Data Output
What Information Gets Displayed
When you hit an entity with the Information Stick, chat will show:
- Entity Name & Type: The display name and technical entity type
- UUID & Entity ID: Unique identifiers for tracking the specific entity
- Position Coordinates: Exact X, Y, Z location in the world
- Ticks Existed: How long the entity has been alive (in game ticks)
- Silence Status: Whether the entity produces sounds
- Mod Origin: Which mod added the entity (if not vanilla)
Using This Data
This information is especially useful for mod developers debugging entity behavior, but players can also use it to:
- Verify entity locations for farms or builds
- Check if custom mobs from other mods are spawning correctly
- Track entity lifespans and behavior patterns
- Identify which mod an unfamiliar entity comes from
