Jade for Forge

An unofficial port of Jade to MinecraftForge 26.2.

Jade shows a tooltip at the top of your screen describing whatever you are looking at: the name of the block or entity, the mod it comes from, the contents of a chest, the progress of a furnace, the growth stage of a crop, the health of a mob, and much more.

Every feature of the original mod is here, including its full in-game configuration screen and its plugin API for other mods. Nothing was removed or rewritten beyond what the change of loader required.

Why this exists

Jade is developed for Fabric, NeoForge and older Forge versions. There is no MinecraftForge 26.2 build, so this one was made by adapting the NeoForge 26.2.9 sources to the Forge API.

Differences from the NeoForge build

• Capabilities are read from the block entity. Forge 26.2 keeps the classic capability system, so inventories, tanks and energy buffers are queried on the block entity itself instead of through NeoForge's level-based lookup. A modded block that exposes its contents only through a NeoForge-specific API will show nothing here.
• Fluids. Forge's FluidStack carries NBT rather than a component patch, so fluid tooltips are built from that.
• Recipe lookup is unavailable. Neither JEI nor REI has a Forge 26.2 build, so the "show recipes" shortcut does nothing. Everything else in the tooltip works normally.
• Networking, key bindings and the config screen entry point were rewritten against Forge's own APIs.

Installation

Requires MinecraftForge for Minecraft 26.2. Put the jar in your mods folder; there is no other dependency. Install it on the server as well if you want block entity contents (chests, furnaces, tanks) to be shown - like the original mod, that data is sent by the server.
