Description

# Here's What You're Looking At License **HWYLA** (Pronounced "Hwhy-la", similar to "Coo-Hwhip") **Hwyla is available for both Forge and Fabric.** A fork of [WAILA](https://modrinth.com/mod/hwyla/settings/description) by [ProfMobius](https://www.curseforge.com/members/profmobius/projects). This fork is permitted under the [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://github.com/TehNut/HWYLA/blob/1.10/LICENSE.md) license. All plugins/addons/compatibilities created with the official mod are 100% compatible with this fork. ## Changes You can find a list of most changes right [here](https://github.com/TehNut/HWYLA/blob/1.10/CHANGES.md). ## Notable Lesser Known Features - By default, Numpad 3 and Numpad 4 can be used to lookup the recipe of blocks in the world in JEI. This requires JEI to be installed to function. - You can change the colors and text formatting of the tooltip in-game by navigating to the in-game config, opening the "Waila" options screen, and selecting "Format content...". - If you are having issues with tooltip handlers added by mods, you can run `/dumphandlers` which will produce a text file with all registered handlers and what types they are registered to. - As of 1.12, the Narrator can be toggled for the tooltip. This will use the system's text-to-speech library to tell you what you're looking at. - If you feel that having the item being displayed in the tooltip is redundant, it can be disabled. ## Modpack Permissions You can use Hwyla in modpacks. ## Archival notice **This mod is abandoned and has been uploaded for archival purposes.
