⬇ Download on CurseForge

How To Use
Download the .mcpack file and double-tap it — Minecraft opens and imports it automatically
Open or create a world → go to Behavior Packs → activate "What Is This?"
Launch the world
Using it
Just play normally — no commands or setup needed. Simply look at anything:
Point at a block → action bar shows its name (e.g. Grass Block)
Point at a mob → shows its name + threat level (e.g. Creeper §c[Hostile])
Point at a named mob → shows its custom name alongside the type and tag
Look away → action bar clears automatically
