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.
