Reader Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
Reader Mod is enabled by default once installed. Simply point your crosshair at any block or item and you'll see its name appear on your action bar at the bottom of your screen.
Why isn't the block name showing up when I look at things?
Make sure your action bar is visible and not hidden by another mod or setting. If you're looking at a vanilla block, the mod should display its name immediately—try moving your crosshair away and back onto the block.
Does this mod work with modded blocks and items?
Yes, Reader Mod identifies both vanilla and modded blocks and items. It displays whatever name the block or item is registered with in the game.
Can I see more details about a block than just its name?
Reader Mod shows the block name on your action bar. For deeper information like block properties and variants, refer to the "Learn Block Properties and Variants" guide or check the mod's documentation.
Does this work on items in my inventory?
Reader Mod is designed to identify blocks you're looking at in the world and entities. For inventory items, you can hover over them to see their names in the tooltip, which is a vanilla Minecraft feature.
Will this mod slow down my game?
Reader Mod has minimal performance impact since it only displays text on your action bar when you're looking at blocks. It should not cause noticeable lag on most systems.
Does Reader Mod work in multiplayer?
Yes, Reader Mod works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds. It's a client-side mod, so it only needs to be installed on your client.
Can I customize what information the mod displays?
Reader Mod displays block names by default on your action bar. Check the mod's configuration options or documentation to see if there are customization settings available for your version.
Does this mod conflict with other mods that show block information?
Reader Mod should work alongside most other mods, but if you have multiple mods displaying information on your action bar simultaneously, they may overlap. Test your mod combination to ensure compatibility.
How do I use this mod to learn about new blocks from a recent update?
Simply explore the new blocks in your world and point your crosshair at them—Reader Mod will display their names on your action bar. For more detailed information about what these blocks do, see the "Quickly Learn New Mod Content" guide.
