01 • Overview
What is Jade Mod?
Jade is an information HUD for Minecraft Java Edition and a modern successor in the WAILA/HWYLA family. Point at a supported target and a compact overlay can identify it and surface useful context.
Depending on the block, entity, other installed mods and server support, Jade can expose information such as names, health, progress or supported inventory details while you stay in the game world.

03 • Features
Why players keep Jade in their modpacks
Useful context appears where you already look, reducing menu hopping and guesswork.
Entity details
Quickly read health and other supported entity information without opening another screen.
Progress hints
Supported blocks can expose useful state such as processing, growth or breaking progress.
Inventory context
With server support and compatible blocks, Jade can reveal richer storage information.
Configurable HUD
Tune what appears, how much detail you want, and the controls used to toggle information.
Mod integration
Jade exposes an API used by other mods and add-ons to surface their own contextual data.
04 • Compatibility
Match three things before installing
Most launch failures start with a version or loader mismatch.
1
Minecraft version
Use the exact game version shown on the release page.
2
Loader
Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge and Forge builds are not interchangeable.
3
Dependencies
Install any dependency listed for that specific release and loader.
| Loader | Best practice | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Check Fabric API dependency | Using a NeoForge JAR |
| Quilt | Use the compatible Fabric/Quilt release | Assuming every Fabric mod is Quilt-ready |
| NeoForge | Match the exact modern branch | Mixing Forge and NeoForge files |
| Forge | Verify that Jade supports your Minecraft version | Expecting a Forge build for every new release |

06 • In game
A small overlay with high-value context
The strongest Jade experience is not about filling the screen. It is about surfacing the one or two facts that help you decide what to do next.
- Identify unfamiliar blocks in large modpacks
- Check supported entity health and status
- Understand machines without opening every interface
- Keep information visible while exploring or building
07 • Why Jade
Built for modern Minecraft modding
Jade continues the “what am I looking at?” idea with active support for current mod-loader ecosystems.
Older workflow
Open menus, guess blocks, search recipes
Useful information is separated from the thing you are currently looking at.

Jade workflow
Look at a target and read the context
Stay focused on the world while the HUD surfaces relevant information at the point of need.
08 • Troubleshooting
Fast fixes for common Jade problems
Start with the simplest checks before rebuilding your whole modpack.
Overlay disappeared
Check Controls → Key Binds → Jade and verify the overlay toggle has not been pressed or remapped.
Game crashes on startup
Remove duplicate Jade files, confirm loader type and check the exact Minecraft version listed for the JAR.
Less info on multiplayer
Some data depends on server-side Jade support. Client-only installs may intentionally show less information.
Tooltip looks crowded
Use Jade configuration to reduce modules, reposition information or disable details you do not need.

Jade Mod FAQ
Answers to the questions users ask before downloading or troubleshooting.
Jade is a Minecraft Java Edition information HUD mod. It identifies the block, fluid or entity under your crosshair and can show useful contextual details such as health, progress and supported inventory information.
No. The official Jade project is for Minecraft Java Edition and uses Java mod loaders. Bedrock add-ons are a different format.
Current and historical releases are available across Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge and Forge, but support varies by Minecraft version. Always match the exact game version and loader before downloading.
Yes, core identification features can work client-side. Some richer information is only available when the server also has Jade installed.
A common cause is the overlay toggle keybind. Check Minecraft Controls and the Jade category, then verify your selected profile loads the correct Jade file.
For Fabric installations, follow the dependency information shown on the official release page. Fabric API is commonly required for Fabric builds.
No. This is an independent informational site template. Download buttons send visitors to official project sources instead of repackaging the mod file.
