WATI Lens

WATI Lens adds an in-world inspection HUD inspired by WAILA/WAWLA for Minecraft Bedrock. Look at blocks, entities or dropped items to see useful information without opening a separate menu.

The first public release includes:

• Block, entity and item inspection.
• Customizable HUD frame, opacity, size and position.
• Compact and extended display modes.
• Numeric health and armor/effect/entity metadata support.
• Container previews with graphic and text styles.
• Automatic settings item plus backup crafting recipe.
• WATI Knowledge Bridge support through WATI Core.
• WATI Lens Provider SDK v1 for add-ons that want to expose their own live data.

WATI Core is optional, but WATI Core v3.2.0 is recommended. With Core installed, Lens can show static facts such as tool tiers, armor values, food values and Better on Bedrock entity enchantment data.

Features

• WAILA/WAWLA-style HUD for blocks, entities and dropped items.
• Customizable HUD frame with multiple Lens and JAWA-inspired styles.
• Adjustable frame opacity, HUD size and screen position.
• Optional alternate HUD position while sneaking.
• Compact and extended display modes.
• Numeric health mode for entities.
• Armor, effects, baby/tamed/rideable metadata and name tag support.
• Container previews with graphic styles and text summary mode.
• WATI Core Knowledge Bridge support for richer static facts.
• Better on Bedrock entity enchantment display when used with WATI Core v3.2.0.
• WATI Lens Provider SDK v1 for add-ons that want to show their own dynamic information.

Settings Item

WATI Lens gives each player a settings item automatically the first time they join with Lens installed.

If the item is lost, it can also be crafted:

The item opens the WATI Lens settings menu, where players can configure General, Personalization and Advanced options.

Container Preview Setup

Container inventory previews are disabled by default at world level for compatibility.

To allow Lens to inspect container contents, an operator must run:

/scriptevent wati_lens:server_containers on

To disable it again:

/scriptevent wati_lens:server_containers off

To check the current status:

/scriptevent wati_lens:server_containers

This uses Minecraft’s /scriptevent command, so the world/server must allow commands or cheats, and the player running it must have operator/Game Director permissions.

After container inspection is allowed globally, each player can choose how Lens displays containers from:

WATI Lens Settings → Advanced → Container Contents

Available visibility modes:

Always
When sneaking
When not sneaking
Never

Container display style and visible slots can be customized separately from:

WATI Lens Settings → Personalization

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.130 or newer.
• Script API enabled through the add-on dependencies.
• Recommended: WATI Core v3.2.0.
