Component Viewer

This is the third major release for Component Viewer adding a bunch of new configs, and especially QoL features. Starting with this release, Component Viewer is now natively supported for the NeoForge platform. Also starting with this release, Minecraft versions 1.20.5 and 1.20.6 will no longer receive any updates. This release is marked as "beta" on Modrinth, for obvious reasons.

Note: Custom keybinds for this mod will be reset when upgrading to this release. Your current configs however, should remain untouched. Also, NeoForge seems to handle tooltips a bit differently, meaning overflowing tooltips will wrap around to the next line, unlike on Fabric.

Additions

Tooltips

• Tooltips will now be cleared beforehand, meaning only this mod's information is displayed and nothing else
• When hovering over different item stacks, the selected component is now kept by its actual type and not by its index in the list
• The number of components is now displayed in the tooltips

Copying

• The target selector for the give command is now configurable

Controls

• It is now possible to select a component by scrolling with the mouse
• All keybinds and controls are now configurable
  • Keybinds are configurable in the Minecraft keybinds settings
  • Other controls are configurable in the config of Component Viewer

Miscellaneous

• It is now configurable that Component Viewer disables itself and all functionality under certain conditions, like being on a server and/or in survival mode
• You can now change the copy key-combo from CTRL+C to ALT+C if desired

Changes

Controls

• Components are now cycled with arrow keys and the mouse wheel only
  • ALT and SHIFT+ALT don't work anymore and serve a different purpose now
• Tooltips are now displayed by holding ALT instead of CTRL
  • This is to avoid conflicts with the default sprint key in Minecraft versions 1.21.8 and below
• Holding down an arrow key, or any other key, to cycle through components, will now rapidly cycle through all components
• Keys, especially the ones for cycling components, now trigger independently, meaning holding one down, doesn't block another to trigger
• Config cycle keybinds now also work with any screen open, like being in the inventory

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that snbt formatting didn't use OS-specific line termination characters properly
• Fixed that clearing the internal toast manager causes config cycle keybinds to not spawn any new toast notifications

Known Issues

• Changing what kind of components are displayed, while having one selected, causes the selected component to not respect the new Keep Selection config properly

---

I haven't mentioned any new configs in detail here, to avoid the changelog being overly long. But nearly all features can be disabled or configured in a way that it mostly reflects the prior version of Component Viewer.

Have fun! ~Fixyl :D

This is a very small patch fixing just two typos and nothing more.

Developer's Note:

This patch was not necessarily planned for now but is now available because 1.21.5 dropped, which needed a tiny bit of compatibility work. So this patch goes along with this.

Bug fixes

• Fixed two typos:
  • Whats the purpose ... becomes What's the purpose ...
  • No Default Component becomes No Default Components

This is the biggest release yet. The most prominent features are:

• Displaying item stack data itself
• Copying data of any item stack
• JSON formatting

and more.

Note: Your current configs will be reset when upgrading to this release.

Additions

Formatting

• Added JSON formatting

Copying

• This includes:
  • Component values
  • Item stack data
    • Which is exactly the same as using /data get on the item stack
  • Give command
    • Yielding the exact item represented by the item stack

Tooltips

• The item stack data itself can now be displayed instead of individual components
• Added more controls for navigating individual components:
  • UP, LEFT for the previous component
  • DOWN, RIGHT for the next component
  • HOME, END for either the first or last component
  • ALT, SHIFT + ALT is unchanged

Configs

• Added a bunch of new configs
• This includes:
  • Purpose: What will be displayed
    • Components (default)
    • Item Stack

Keybindings

• This includes:
  • Copying anything (can be disabled)
  • Cycling enum configs with keybindings

Changes

Formatting

• Renamed "Class" formatter to "Object" formatter
• Internal (non-encoded) components will now be formatted as {} when using SNBT formatting
• Object formatting now also supports colored formatting

Tooltips

• Removed components will now be listed at the bottom of the section instead of the top
• Removed components can now also be selected, displaying the value that would've been there
• When a formatting error occurs with Object formatting, it will no longer fallback to using zero indentation

Configs

• Reworked the config screen
  • Configs that don't apply with other configs currently set will now be grayed out
• Changed the way configs are de-/serialized
  • Configs within the config file will now follow a hierarchical order
  • Enum configs are now snake case
  • Integer config values that are, for some reason, out of range will now be reset to their default value instead of clamping it
• Renamed some old configs
  • "Indent Size" becomes "Indentation"
  • "Mode" becomes "Formatting"
• The "Changed Components" config was being removed in favor of the "Components" enum config

Bug fixes

• Data was previously not being displayed when the item stack had the minecraft:hide_tooltip component
• Object formatter didn't indent on () which was causing slight misalignments for certain components
• Pressing J (or any other bound key) very rapidly didn't open the config screen

This is a minor patch that adds 1.21 support.

Additions

• Components that have been removed using the new ! prefix will now be displayed as such when Component Changes is enabled.
  • They will be listed at the top of the section, indicated by a strikethrough formatting.

Changes

• The config Colored SNBT is now enabled by default.

This is a minor patch that addresses an issue causing the client to disconnect from servers.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a NullPointerException that was causing a "Network Protocol Error", leading to the client being disconnected from both internal and external servers.

This is a major release introducing configs and a new SNBT representation for component values, which is the same as used for /data get.

Additions

• Added SNBT mode:
  • Component values can now be displayed using an SNBT representation.
  • This behavior is the same as /data get.
• New configs:
  • Mode:
    • Can be SNBT or Class.
    • Defaults to SNBT.
    • Specifies the representation of component values.
  • Display:
    • Can be Never, Hold or Always.
    • Defaults to Hold.
    • Specifies when components will be displayed.
  • Indent Size:
    • Defaults to 4.
    • The amount of spaces used for indentation when formatting.
    • A value of zero means no formatting will occur.
  • Colored SNBT:
    • Defaults to false.
    • Determines whether component values in SNBT mode should be colored.
  • Component Changes:
    • Defaults to false.
    • Only non-default (changed) components will be displayed.
  • Component Values:
    • Defaults to true.
    • Determines if component values should be displayed alongside component types.
  • Advanced Tooltips:
    • Defaults to false.
    • Determines whether the debug option Advanced tooltips must be enabled to display components.
• Configs can be accessed by pressing J on the keyboard or navigating through ModMenu.
  • This keybind can be changed in the regular keybind settings of Minecraft.
• Configs are stored in a componentviewer-config.json file inside the config directory.

Changes

• SNBT mode is now the default mode instead of Class mode.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the keyword pattern in Class mode is not treated as a beginning string.
• Fixed an issue where component type indentation was one space too large if only one component exists.
• NBTComponents like minecraft:custom_data, minecraft:entity_data, etc. are now correctly formatted in Class mode.

This is a minor patch that made some changes to the component value formatter under the hood.

Additions

• Added indent caching.
• Added a fallback to non-formatted component values if formatting goes wrong.

Bug fixes

• Fixed most issues related to formatting of minecraft:item_name, minecraft:custom_name and minecraft:lore components.
  • Characters like [, ], ", ', , and ; will no longer break the formatting.

Known issues

• Certain character combinations with { or } as item names or item lores might still cause formatting issues.
  • This issue is not resolvable with the current implementation of how "Component Viewer" gathers component value information.
