Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the held item info overlay?

The overlay is active by default once the mod is loaded, so simply hold any enchanted tool, weapon, or armor piece and the info appears near the top of your HUD. If nothing shows, check that the item actually has enchantments or stored contents, since plain items display nothing.

Why isn't the enchantment info showing when I hold my sword?

The overlay only appears for items that have something worth displaying, like enchantments, stored contents, or special data. An unenchanted plain sword or a stack of dirt won't trigger it, so make sure the item in your main hand actually carries that information.

Does the overlay work for items in my offhand?

The mod reads the item you are currently holding, so switching the item to your main hand is the reliable way to see its info. If you want offhand details, swap it into your main hand briefly.

How do I see what's inside a Shulker Box without placing it?

Just hold the Shulker Box in your hand and the overlay lists its contents automatically. This works the same way for Bundles and Bee Nests, where the number of bees inside is shown.
