Overview
Jade is a utility mod created by Snownee. A tooltip mod that shows information about what you are looking at, including block details, entity info, and mod data. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 150 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
Jade is built for players who want a tooltip telling them exactly what block or mob they are looking at. A maintained successor to the classic WAILA/HWYLA tooltips, it shows block names, mod source, mob health, and machine progress on the HUD. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.
The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It is a client-side mod, which means you can add it to your own game for personal benefit even when the server you join does not run it.

How to install Jade
Jade supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1).
- 2Check the download page for any required libraries. Jade lists no hard dependencies here, but it is always worth confirming for your exact version.
- 3Drop the Jade .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and each player who wants it adds it to their own client.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Jade appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and any library requirements.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Jade works particularly well alongside Just Enough Items. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.
Jade has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.
If you are comparing options, similar mods include The One Probe and WTHIT. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
