This mods adds some of the overlays from NEI.
Client Side only mod!
Please report any Issues and Suggestions here (Issue Page on Github).
I might not notice issues or suggestions in the Comments.
(Check the Mod / Modpack version before you write an Issue)
Overlays:
- Chunk Boundaries
- Light Level / Mob spawns ( 16 block range )
- Item search (only if JEI is installed)
Default Keys:
- F9 : Chunk Boundaries
- F7 : Light Level / Mob spawns
- Double click on the JEI Search Field for Item Search
In version 0.5 or above you can change the config ingame:
- from the Main Screen: Mods -> MoreOverlays -> Config
- from the Pause Menu: Mod Options... -> MoreOverlays -> Config [Not working in Minecraft 1.14.x since "Mod Options..." is missing in the pause menu]
Mob Spawns / Light Level:
Shows a yellow X on blocks if monsters can spawn at night or a red X if spawns are always possible.
Chunk Boundaries:
Has three modes it shows red lines in the corners and a yellow line in the middle of the chunk.
In the 2. mode it also shows a green grid on the edges of the chunk.
In the 3. mode the green grid outlines a minecraft or cubicchunks region and displays the corresponding region save file in the top left corner. (since version 1.15.0 for minecraft 1.12.2)
Inventory Search:
Only works if JEI is installed.
If it is enabled you can search in JEI for items and all items in the currently open inventory that doesn't match the filter will get blacked out.
Before 1.10 (for MC 1.10.2/1.11.2) there was a Keybinding to enable that feature.
Since 1.10 you can double click on the JEI Search bar to enable that feature (Just like in NEI).
Integration
This mod integrates with some other mods to fix bugs or add features.
- JustEnoughItems (by mezz): Item Search only works when JEI is installed since it uses the search algorithm from JEI to highlight items.
- Custom Mob Spawner (by DrZharks): Light Overlay integrates with that mod to show where mobs can spawn according to the custom spawn handling implemented by that mod. (temporary removed in 1.16.0)
- OpenCubicChunks (by barteks2x): Region Overlays show the save files that cubic chunks uses. (Chunk & Region grids needs improvement)
- Mantle: Item Search integrates with the GUI API that is part of mantle in order to show slots at the position they appear on screen.
I allow distribution of my mod in modpacks. Would be nice if you give credits
Reuploading the file is allowed ( But only if the download is free, because commercial use of this mod is against the Minecraft EULA, but you can use my code for anything you want)
Please try to keep the files on your website updated and don't lie about the Mod and Minecraft Version. (If there is no file for MC 1.13 don't write in the Tile "More Overlays 1.12 / 1.13" )
Update, please
Please update this mod!
This is very helpful. Any chance that you could add if it tells you that you are in a slime chunk?
In reply to 1pa4vel:
First: I think you used the wrong button. You made a quote and edited it instead of making a reply. This makes it weird since I never wrote that, but it sounds like I did and you made a completly new comment instead of a sub-comment below your original.
Second: You can, but I don't see the point why you should. As I wrote in my reply he probably looked at my mod or even the code. But I don't care, he definitely wrote his own code in the mod and is not a copy of my mod even if so I did put my mod under MIT Licence which would allow him to copy the source, modify and even distribute it.
this mod has something to do with your mod?

In reply to 1pa4vel:
While the middle line in the chunks is an idea that I came up with in MoreOverlays. Things like LightOverlay and ChunkBorders are actually taken from NEI before Minecraft 1.8 came out. So you will find more mods that implement similar overlays. That sad the mod doesn't seem to take that much from MoreOverlays. It doesn't use the same code to detect and render Light/Spawn Overlays, in fact the wesserboys mod only looks for light and seems to ignore mob spawns completely. The developer also doesn't use the Testator but use raw GL11 calls (which are not recommended in minecraft, if I remember correctly, but they are not a big problem). There also doesn't seem to be integration for other mods that change the chunk layout or light levels.
Overall I would say while the developer might had a look into my code it doesn't really seem like blind copy and pasting from my implementations.
Thanks a ton i wanted to be able to search my inventory for specific items and this simplifies it.
Version for 1.13.2 please?
hopefully you update this to forge 1.13+ soon... Rift has lag issues with similar mods that I want to remove asap
Hey, Just wondering if there would be room for a feature request? This mod is great and i love it a lot as is. However, i would love to be able to configure another color, say blue, for a range i need to put a torch while mining.
For instance:
When i mine, i put a torch above me at block light level 3. This provides me with a perfect ~...9889...~ pattern in my mines.
Currently I have to count the 4 blocks from 7-3. This is an improvement from enabling F3 debug which i am glad to get away from, but it would be perfect if i could specify another color and range to light up specifically for torch placement. I would also like to keep the red indication from 7-0, I would just like light level 3 to light up blue. I know how to adjust the settings to light up 3-0 as red.
Thank you for this mod and all the work to develop and update.
Is it possible to have an equivalent with a data pack ?
i love u this mod is so helpful finaly i can properly place slime farms without measuring the chunk's location for 3 hours
Finally found a mod that can do this overlay stuff. I was trying to find it for a long time
In reply to Vork210:
In case if you need to calculate a certain level of light (need for some modded crops)

On 1.12.2 light overlay don't work, but chunk overlay do. Is anyone have same problem or it's just me?

I think your issue is related to this issue: https://github.com/feldim2425/MoreOverlays/issues/45
Maybe the Keybinding is somehow blocked. I can't reproduce the problem nor find any issue in the code. Maybe it works after changing the keybinding from F7 to some other key.
EDIT: Please also check if you are running the newest version.
