4.3/5 - (726 votes)

Waila Mod, for What Am I Looking At, is an extension for the popular Not Enough Items Mod, also known as NEI. It will show in the tooltip what mod an item is from.

It provides a small unobtrusive tooltip on top of the screen with informations about the block the player is looking at. A powerful API is provided so other modders can add their own information relative to their blocks to it.

Since the tooltip contains the mod name, you can also easly parse items per mods. But that’s not all! This mod is also a UI improvement mod for Minecraft aimed at providing block information directly in-game, without the need of opening an UI.

Screenshots:

And if this is not enough, the Waila Mod 1.9 comes with a few integrated modules to show internal information of some specific blocks. For now, BC tanks have been implemented (shows the content, capacity and amount of fluid) and IC2 machines (shows the In/out voltage).
