A Fabric mod to measure distances. Originally written by GeeItsZee, ported to Fabric 1.16.4 from LiteLoader 1.10.2.<\/p>\n
This mod currently supports Quilt and Fabric 1.16.x to 1.21.x. There is no plan to backport to Fabric 1.14\/1.15 unless anyone requires it.<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n
This mod requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API.<\/p>\n
– Get Fabric Loader and Fabric API from the provided links and install it for your version of Minecraft, if you don’t already have it.
\n– Download the appropriate version of M-Tape from Modrinth, CurseForge or the GitLab release page.
\n– Go to your `.minecraft` folder (instructions to find it here).
\n– Create a `mods` folder if it doesn’t already exist, then copy the Fabric API and M-Tape JARs into it.
\n– Start the `fabric-loader-xxx` version of Minecraft that you installed in the first step. The mod should be loaded.<\/p>\n
## Usage<\/p>\n
– M-Tape is an easy-to-use measuring tape.
\n– The main keybind to use is the `Set Origin` key (default: I).
\n– To enable\/disable M-Tape, press SHIFT to sneak, then click `Set Origin`. It will begin highlighting the block you are looking at.
\n– To measure distances, set the origin by looking at the block you want to start measuring from, and clicking `Set Origin`.
\n– Voil\u00e0! The mod will then measure the distance between the origin and the block you look at. The distance will be displayed above the crosshair, and a line will be drawn in-game between the two blocks. You can disable M-Tape to stop measuring.<\/p>\n
### Additional Features<\/p>\n
If you want the distance to appear in chat as a static message, click the `Send Measurement In Chat` (default: B) key. This message will not change, of course. This does not send the distance to other players though.<\/p>\n
M-Tape also allows you to select blocks to keep track of them. When M-Tape is enabled, you can use the `Select Block` (default: G) key to select\/unselect the block you are looking at. Selected blocks are highlighted with orange and remain selected even after M-Tape is disabled. You can clear all selected blocks by sneaking and clicking `Select Block`, similar to disabling M-Tape.<\/p>\n
