This mods adds some of the overlays from NEI.
Client Side only mod!
Update / Info:
Most of you probably notices that this mod is still stuck in 1.14. While I've made attempts to get this mod updated in the past, it would require a full rewrite. Since I'm currently not really active in Minecraft especially Modded Minecraft, I don't have much interest updating it. I'm sorry, you can checkout a independently updated version made by RiDGo8 here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/more-overlays-updated
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" )
I can't download this mod with third-party launchers (i.e. MultiMC, PolyMC). Could you set it so that third-party downloads are enabled? I don't want to have to use Overwolf bloatware.
do it for more recent version

Please read carefully the mod description above. You will find there info on how the continuation of this mod for newer Minecraft versions (1.15+) is called and where to find it.
Very useful mod
Is it possible to expand light level functionality to displaying it in some sphere around a player?
It'd be useful if you are in a cave and you try to light up some area.
E.x. you build some farm at 6 height. For upgrading its effectivity you should light up some area around it. Sometimes it can be real difficult task to complete. BUT if you can create a "low light level sphere| (and maybe lock its position) the task'd be more simple. I imagine it something like this. You stand at afk area of farm and execute command for crating this sphere. All blocks that available for mob spawning mark as red blocks and can be seen through. Position of sphere is locked at position it was created. A player can freely move around without changing sphere position, see which bocks are marked and place torches. If a player change light level into some area in the sphere and it affects onto mob spawning red blocks change as well.

Since this mod is stuck on 1.14 and won't get any updates (at least not in the near future), I recommend that you read carefully its description above. You will find there info on how the (maintained) continuation of this mod is named and where to find it. There you can post your feature request in the comments section or in the issue tracker on GitHub.

F7 key doesn't work in minecraft realms 1.16.3 (F9 works however). I'm not sure if it is able to work in realms or not though I imagine it should be able to. Let me know if I'm wrong to think that I guess.
In reply to malorn44_desu:
Are you sure you are talking about this mod? Didn't you make a mistake by any chance? This mod supports Minecraft versions up to 1.14 only, so how did you get it running on 1.16?
The F7 key doesn't seem to be working for me however F9 does. I haven't changed any settings it just doesn't create the light level overlays
