Glance Box

Glance Box

A much prettier info box. Look at any block, item or mob and the Glance Box pops up at the top of your screen. It shows a large picture of what you’re looking at, a coloured edge that tells you what kind of thing it is, and all the useful details.

What it shows

Blocks

• The block’s name and the mod it comes from (or Minecraft)
• The best tool to use on it: pickaxe, axe, shovel or hoe
• Crop growth, right up to “Ready to harvest”

Mobs

• A picture of the mob
• What the mob is holding and how much armour it has
• Current health as hearts, or as a number like 50 / 50 for big mobs

Storage, without opening it

• Look at a chest, barrel, shulker box or ender chest and small pictures of what’s inside appear along the top line, each with its amount (x2, x64, 1.2k…)
• If there are a lot of items, the line slowly scrolls along so you can see everything
• Ender chests show your own items, so nobody can peek at anyone else’s

Colour-coded edges

• 🔴 Hostile mobs
• 🟠 Neutral mobs (wolves, Endermen, iron golems…)
• 🟢 Passive mobs
• 🔵 Blocks
• 🟣 Dropped items
• 🟡 Players

Works with other mods

• Every modded block, item and mob shows its own picture and mod name automatically
• Lootr: see your own loot in Lootr chests, barrels and shulker boxes once you’ve opened them
• Sophisticated Storage: chests, barrels, limited barrels and shulker boxes all show their contents
• Most other storage mods’ chests and barrels work too
