๐Ÿ” JAWA 1.1.0 โ€” THE BEST WAILA ON BEDROCK. FULL STOP. ๐Ÿ”

LOOK AT ANYTHING. KNOW EVERYTHING. LOSE NOTHING.

You're staring at a block. You know it's some kind of stone. But which stone? Deepslate? Tuff? Andesite? Regular stone that's been sitting there since chunk generation, minding its own business? You've been mining mystery blocks for years, and honestly, at this point, you're too afraid to ask.

JAWA answers before you ask. Point at a block, a mob, a dropped item or a chest and everything about it appears on your HUD, in real time. No menus. No wiki tabs. No squinting. Over 40,000 downloads of players who'd rather know than guess.

Other WAILAs exist. Some of them even look a little bit like this one, which is very flattering. But only JAWA does all of this.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ ZERO ITEM LOSS. REAL ICONS FOR EVERYTHING. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Showing a real item icon on the HUD means borrowing a slot in your inventory for a split second. Do that carelessly and one day your diamond sword is justโ€ฆ gone. Do it the lazy way instead and every add-on item becomes a grey question mark, and the icons break the next time Minecraft updates.

JAWA does it properly.

  • EVERY ITEM'S REAL ICON โ€” vanilla, add-on, custom-named, enchanted. If it exists in your world, JAWA draws it
  • ZERO ITEM LOSS โ€” every slot is checked before it's handed back. Pick something up mid-update? It stays yours. Inventory full? It drops at your feet, never into the void
  • LOG OFF MID-UPDATE? Your items are waiting for you the next time you join
  • THE RIGHT ICON. EVERY TIME. โ€” borrow-a-slot WAILAs can flash up whatever's in your inventory instead of what you're looking at. JAWA checks every icon is its own before drawing it, so your shulker box never shows up looking at gravel
  • OPEN A CHEST AND JAWA STEPS ASIDE โ€” it pauses the moment any container screen opens, and while you're carrying an item on your cursor

Other WAILAs can imitate. Only JAWA gives you both.


๐Ÿ”ฅ NEW IN 1.1.0 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŒ IT SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE ๐ŸŒ

Every block, item, mob and effect name now comes straight from Minecraft's own translations, in every language the game supports. And JAWA's own menus and labels speak German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean too. Playing in German, Japanese or Portuguese? So is JAWA. Add-on blocks show the names their pack gives them, and no more "Lit Furnace" or "Wall Sign". Just Furnace and Oak Sign, like the game says.

๐Ÿ’Ž ITEMS, IN FULL ๐Ÿ’Ž

Look at an item on the ground or in an item frame and see everything:

  • RARITY COLOURS โ€” yellow, aqua and purple names, just like the tooltip. Enchanting bumps them up
  • DURABILITY โ€” green, yellow, red. Or Unbreakable
  • EVERY ENCHANTMENT, with its level, curses in red
  • LORE, FOOD VALUE, BUNDLE CONTENTS AND BOOK AUTHORS

A dropped enchanted pickaxe: rarity, durability and enchantments

๐ŸŒฑ BLOCKS THAT TELL YOU THINGS ๐ŸŒฑ

  • CROPS โ€” growth as a percentage, Fully grown when it's time, and a bone meal hint for anything that can still grow
  • COMPOSTERS, BEEHIVES, CAULDRONS, RESPAWN ANCHORS, CAKE โ€” how full, how ready, how many slices left
  • JUKEBOXES โ€” the actual track. C418 - cat (Playing). Finally
  • FURNACES โ€” the flame lights up and the arrow fills while it smelts, twice as fast in a blast furnace or smoker
  • YOUR ENDER CHEST โ€” look at any ender chest and see what's in yours
  • TOOL ICONS โ€” now know copper tools and add-on tools, plus a brush for suspicious sand and a "nothing will mine this" icon for bedrock and command blocks

๐Ÿบ MOBS, IN DETAIL ๐Ÿบ

  • VILLAGER PROFESSIONS โ€” find the librarian without opening twenty trade screens
  • PET OWNERS โ€” Owner: Steve. Settle the "that's MY dog" argument for good
  • LEASHES AND MOUNT SPEED โ€” who's holding the lead, and how fast that horse really is
  • THREE INTERACTION ICONS โ€” baby, tamed, tameable, rideable, tradeable, breeding food, and a heal icon when a hurt pet can be fed. They tick green when you're holding the right item
  • STATUS EFFECT TIME BARS โ€” every effect shows how long it has left. Infinite effects show โˆž
  • PORTRAITS THAT FIT โ€” every mob, baby and adult, sized to fit the box. No more ghasts eating your screen or silverfish you need a magnifying glass for. Add-on mobs are sized automatically

A tamed wolf: its owner, health and interaction icons

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ A SETTINGS MENU THAT DOESN'T SCROLL FOREVER ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

/jawa:config is brand new: seven tidy sections, changes that apply the moment you make them, a description under every setting, and a reset button for when you've gone a bit too far with the frame opacity.

The new settings menu

๐Ÿ”ง AND WE FIXED ๐Ÿ”ง

  • The overlay could vanish after a minute of looking at the same thing. It stays now. And it clears properly the moment you look away
  • Plain minecarts never showed. They do now
  • Light gray shulker boxes wouldn't show their contents. Sorted
  • Copper armour now counts towards armour points
  • Frozen hearts now show for mobs standing in powder snow
  • Dropped items now follow your position and setting changes

๐Ÿ† EVERYTHING JAWA DOES ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿงฑ BLOCKS ๐Ÿงฑ

  • Name and source pack, in your language
  • Block states โ€” facing, powered, age, all of it, colour-coded
  • The right tool, with a tick or a cross for what you're holding
  • Block details โ€” crops, compost, honey, cauldrons, anchors, cake, candles, sea pickles, note blocks, jukeboxes

๐Ÿ“ฆ CONTAINERS โ€” WITHOUT OPENING THEM ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Chests, barrels, every shulker box, hoppers, droppers, dispensers, furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, brewing stands, jukebox discs, copper chests, chest and hopper minecarts, chest boats, donkeys, mules, llamas and your own ender chest. Up to 26 slots on screen, with a +N for the rest.

๐Ÿท MOBS AND PLAYERS ๐Ÿท

  • A live 3D portrait of whatever you're looking at
  • Hearts that change with the effect โ€” poison, wither, frozen โ€” plus golden absorption hearts, and numbers for anything with more than 40 health
  • Armour points for players
  • All 37 status effects with level and time left
  • Interaction icons, professions, owners, leashes and mount speed

A horse: health, speed and interaction icons

๐ŸŽจ MAKE IT YOURS ๐ŸŽจ

  • 14 hand-crafted frames โ€” from a classic tooltip to diamond-encrusted flex frames โ€” each with light, dark or no container backgrounds
  • Any opacity, from solid to barely there
  • 9 screen positions, plus a different position while you sneak
  • Show it always, only while sneaking, or never. Every single detail has its own setting too
  • Switch off blocks, mobs or dropped items if you only care about one
  • Add-on with a ridiculously long name? Have JAWA just say "Add-On"
  • Faster or lighter โ€” choose how often it updates

๐Ÿ‘ฎ SERVER ADMINS ๐Ÿ‘ฎ

/jawa:admin sets the defaults every new player starts with, and locks any setting so nobody can change it. Locked settings show greyed out in everyone's menu, so nobody wonders why their opacity won't budge.


๐Ÿ’ป COMMANDS ๐Ÿ’ป

Command Who What it does
/jawa:config Everyone Your own settings
/jawa:admin Operators Server defaults and locks

๐Ÿ“ฅ INSTALLATION ๐Ÿ“ฅ

  1. Download the .mcaddon
  2. Open it โ€” Minecraft imports it automatically
  3. Create or edit a world, go to Behavior Packs, and turn on JAWA
  4. The Resource Pack switches itself on with it
  5. Look at something. Anything.

Needs Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.50 or newer. No experimental toggles required, so your achievements are safe. Works on Realms and servers. Plays nicely with UI packs like Dรฉesse UI, whichever order you load them in.

โฌ†๏ธ UPGRADING FROM 1.0.x โฌ†๏ธ

Just update. Your settings come with you, including whether you'd switched the overlay off, and admin defaults and locks carry over too.


๐ŸŽฏ WHY DO WE DO THIS? ๐ŸŽฏ

Because "What Am I Looking At?" is a question nobody should have to ask twice. And because your diamond sword deserves better than being borrowed by a HUD and never given back.


Made by MyGen Gaming โ€” with coffee, and a lot of staring at blocks.

Inspired by the original WAILA by r4isen1920. Licensed MIT. No items were lost in the making of this update. We checked. Every slot. Twice.
