About this Mod

What Material

A simple Fabric Minecraft utility mod to check basic information about an ItemStack.

Usage

This mod is fully command driven. Use one of the following commands to check out the ItemStack's
Identifier, ItemGroup and Material.

/what material
/wm
/info material

All commands will check the player's main hand and if that is empty, the offhand.

You can also specify an ItemStack (just like with the /give command) after all the newly
added Commands. If this command is not executed by a player, specifying the ItemStack is
mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

WhatMaterial server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is WhatMaterial compatible with fabric?

WhatMaterial officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with WhatMaterial – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if WhatMaterial consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
