Hwyala
Hwyala (Here's What You're Actually Looking At) is a UI improvement mod aimed at providing block information directly in-game. It is also a fork of HWYLA.

I only made this because I was tired of rolling bad RNG for the random chance for HWYLA to crash your pack on startup while testing my modpack.
I have no plans of actively maintaining this fork, but feel free to PR with any fixes you come up with and I might merge if they don't make anything explode.
Any and all plugins/addons/compatibilities/what-have-you created with the original mod are 100% compatible with this fork.
This fork is permitted under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Usage of this mod is allowed for all packs.
I have no interest in any other version of Minecraft and will not be forking any other versions of HWYLA.
