**Hwyla is available for both Forge and Fabric.**<\/p>\n
A fork of WAILA by ProfMobius. This fork is permitted under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.<\/p>\n
All plugins\/addons\/compatibilities created with the official mod are 100% compatible with this fork.<\/p>\n
## Changes<\/p>\n
You can find a list of most changes right here.<\/p>\n
## Notable Lesser Known Features
\n– 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.
\n– 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…”.
\n– 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.
\n– 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.
\n– If you feel that having the item being displayed in the tooltip is redundant, it can be disabled.<\/p>\n
## Modpack Permissions
\nYou can use Hwyla in modpacks.<\/p>\n
