Star’s Trapping Utils Mod FAQ

Open your game controls menu, search for "Star's Trapping Utils" keybinds, and assign keys to the counters you want to use (arrow counter, minecart counter, etc.). Once bound, press those keys while looking at rails or targets to toggle the HUD display on and off.

Make sure you're looking directly at a rail block itself, not just near it—the mod needs your crosshair on the actual rail. Also check that you've bound a key for that counter type in your controls menu and that the counter is toggled on.

No, the minecart counter only displays when you're looking at a rail block; it won't work if you're just standing near minecarts in the distance.

Yes, it's entirely client-side, so it works on any server without requiring the server to have the mod installed.

You can count minecarts (TNT, hopper, chest, furnace, spawner, command block, and empty), arrows, wind charges, armor stands, and snow golems—each has its own counter with a dedicated keybind.

Look directly at the armor stand or snow golem (or point your crosshair at it), then press the keybind you assigned for that counter type to see the exact count displayed on your screen.

The mod automatically displays the correct item icon for each counter type you toggle on; you can't change which icons appear, but you can turn individual counters on or off with their keybinds.

No, it runs entirely on your client side and only renders text and icons on your screen, so it has minimal performance impact.

Yes, you can toggle on as many counters as you want simultaneously by pressing their keybinds; they'll all display on your HUD at once.

The mod counts the chest minecart itself as one entity; to see the items inside, you'll need to open the minecart's inventory directly—the counter only tracks entity numbers, not container contents.
