# Block Helper<\/p>\n
A direct WAILA port for old versions of Minecraft, with almost the same API and many, many additional fixes!<\/p>\n
## Download<\/p>\n
**Download on CurseForge**<\/p>\n
**Download on Modrinth** (More versions are available here)<\/p>\n
### Fixers<\/p>\n
Some Minecraft versions have bugs. That’s normal. In order to fix some of them, you can install the following fixers:<\/p>\n
– Class Loader Fixer
\n– Font Fixer<\/p>\n
## Old source code<\/p>\n
This repository hosts the source code for BlockHelper versions 2.x and onwards.
\nThe source code for older versions (0.x and 1.x), has moved here.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
### Forge (all versions) \/ ModLoaderMP (\u2264 1.2.3)<\/p>\n
#### Client<\/p>\n
Just drop the mod into the `mods` folder. Done! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
#### Server<\/p>\n
If you are running a server on MC 1.3.x or newer, just copy the Block Helper jar file into the `mods` folder.<\/p>\n
On older versions, you need to download the dedicated server build of the mod.
\nIt can be found under “Additional files” both on Modrinth and CurseForge.
\nIn MC b1.5_02 and older, you need to copy all the files from this jar into the server jar.
\nIn all newer versions, it is sufficient to just copy the jar file into the `mods` folder.<\/p>\n
#### MCPC+\/Cauldron\/Bukkit<\/p>\n
If you are running a server on MC 1.3.x or newer, just copy the Block Helper jar file into the `mods` folder.<\/p>\n
On older versions, you need to download the dedicated Bukkit\/MCPC+ build of the mod.
\nIt can be found under “Additional files” both on Modrinth and CurseForge.
\nIn MC b1.7.3 and older, you need to copy all the files from this jar into the Bukkit jar.
\nIn all newer versions, it is sufficient to just copy the jar file into the `mods` folder.<\/p>\n
### Fabric<\/p>\n
Drop the mod into the `mods` folder and install Apron or BetaLoader (for b1.7.3)
\nor Fabricated Forge (for 1.3.2+).<\/p>\n

\nchances are that they are still downloadable via MCModArchive.<\/p>\n
### API<\/p>\n
Block Helper features WAILA’s API (with minimal changes) from version 2.x onwards.
\nSince there are many resources online on how to use the API, I will keep this as simple as possible here and just list a few “good” examples:
\n– Block Helper’s own plugins
\n– BlockHelperAddons<\/p>\n
Just try to follow these examples and you will succeed. To safely register your plugin, use the code snippet from the
\nJavaDoc of the `mod_BlockHelper#registerPlugin` function.<\/p>\n
### Other features<\/p>\n
Yes, Block Helper has a few additional features and integrations you probably have not seen before \ud83d\ude42
\nOn the Modrinth and CurseForge page, there are a few images of most of these features in action!
\n_Please note that not every feature is available for every Minecraft version due to modding limitations._<\/p>\n
#### NEI\/AMI\/HMI integration<\/p>\n
– Two new keybinds (default: NUM3<\/kbd> and NUM4<\/kbd>), which show all the recipes for or using the #### World Overlays<\/p>\n Just like NEI in MC 1.4.7 and onwards, Block Helper features a light level overlay and chunk border overlay.
