Updated on May 10
Changelog (v3.0):
Thank you for your continued support and use of my add-on. This update includes new useful features, bug fixes, and further enhancements:
- Added effects renderer:
- This will now show the status effects of the entity you are looking at
- Effect name, duration, and amplifier are shown on the display
- Up to three can be displayed at a time with full information, and the UI automatically collapses the view into an icon-only grid when there are 4 or more effects afflicted on the target entity
- Added armor renderer when displaying players
- Overhauled display tags:
- Added a new block tag that lists blocks that can only be obtained via commands
- Entities will now display tags as well that correspond to their eccentric properties (e.g., if the entity can be tamed, ridden, climb walls, etc.)
- Corrected the way they are displayed in the UI and will now anchor properly alongside other display elements
- Implemented proper separation for entities, blocks, and global tags
- Improved data reading and allowed for ignoring values prefixed with `!`
- Updated block identifier values to 1.20.80 (thanks to Herobrine643928)
- Tweaked codebase for improved readability and efficiency
- Fixed an issue whereby blocks would not display on the screen for versions 1.20.80 and above
- Fixed incorrect tags being displayed on certain objects with similar identifier substrings
Changelog (v2.3):
- Updated to support Minecraft 1.20.80
Changelog (v2.2):
Thank you for your valuable feedback and continued support. This update aims to resolve issues that were present in the previous version:
- Improved entity icon display โ you can now be able to see a live rendering of the entity on the top screen, and this will also now work for custom mobs!
- Removed image files that were used for portraits, thereby reducing file size of the Add-On
- Players will now be rendered on the display, including any attachables they have worn (such as armor with their applicable trims, and items in main hand and offhand)
- Due to this change, however, some inanimate entities may not render on top of the screen anymore. These are but not limited to the following entities:
- Minecart
- Minecart with Chest
- Minecart with Hopper
- Minecart with TNT
- The health of the entity will no longer render if its maximum health is at extreme levels
- Tweaked the offset of the tooltip, tailored for smaller devices
- Fixed an issue whereby the namespace text will only remove the first instance of the underscore. This fix should also now remove all underscores in the namespace text
- Fixed entities not updating properly when afflicted with poison or wither damage
- Fixed tooltip flashing out when hitting an entity just to update it
