# Lookup Tool [`doc_identifier`]
|
||
|
|
Version: 1.2.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
The lookup tool is an useful little helper which can be used to quickly learn
|
||
|
|
more about about one's closer environment. It identifies blocks, dropped items
|
||
|
|
and other objects and it shows extensive information about the item on which it
|
||
|
|
is used, provided documentation is available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to use the lookup tool
|
||
|
|
Punch any block or item about you wish to learn more about. This will open up
|
||
|
|
the help entry of this particular item.
|
||
|
|
The tool comes in two modes which are changed by a right-click. In liquid mode
|
||
|
|
(blue) this tool points to liquids as well while in solid mode (red) this is not
|
||
|
|
the case. Liquid mode is required if you want to identify a liquid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## For modders
|
||
|
|
If you want the tool to identify nodes and (dropped) items, you probably don't
|
||
|
|
have to do anything, it is probably already supported. The only thing you have
|
||
|
|
to make sure is that all pointable blocks and items have a help entry, which
|
||
|
|
is already the case for most items, but you may want to do some testing on
|
||
|
|
“tricky” items. Consult the documentation of Documentation System [`doc`]
|
||
|
|
and Item Help [`doc_items`] for getting the item documentation right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the lookup tool to be able to work on custom objects/entities, you have to
|
||
|
|
use the tiny API of this mod, see `API.md`.
