About this Mod
Simple Glance
Know what you're looking at — instantly.
Simple Glance adds a clean, minimal HUD overlay to the top of your screen that tells you exactly what block or entity your crosshair is pointing at — no more guessing, no more opening wikis.
✨ Features
- Block & fluid identification — shows the name of any block you're looking at
- Entity identification — shows the name and type of any mob or entity
- Item icons — displays the block or spawn egg icon right next to the name
- Mob health bar — a colour-coded health bar shows how much HP a mob has left, along with the exact numbers
- Break progress bar — an orange bar fills the bottom of the panel as you mine a block, showing how close you are to breaking it
- Clean & minimal — a panel that stays out of your way, hides when menus are open or the HUD is toggled off
