The Here's What You're Looking At mod, also known as Hwyla, is a simple yet very useful mod that gives players vital information about the block that they are looking at.

Some popular mods are compatible with Hwyla, meaning that you will also get information about blocks that are not in vanilla Minecraft. Keep in mind that this mod is for Minecraft version 1.16.5, so it's best for players who want to make a modded survival world in an earlier version.


7) Inventory Sorter

Nothing is worse than an unorganized inventory. Blocks aren't stacked, everything is out of order, and you can't find the exact item you need. Luckily, the Inventory Sorter mod is here to help!

This mod works by using a simple command, "/inventorysorter [argument]," with four different arguments to choose from. Players can sort either their own inventory or a chest using this mod.


6) Survive
