HUD Overlays
Two on-screen overlays Bedrock Reimagined adds to vanilla Minecraft. WAILA (What Am I Looking At) is a contextual panel that describes whatever your crosshair is on, and the Armor HUD shows every armor piece you're wearing alongside its durability.
How WAILA Works
Look at something; the readout appears on screen automatically. The panel updates live as you look around, and clears the moment nothing is in range. It works on blocks, mobs, other players, and items lying on the ground.
- Aim your crosshair at a target and WAILA draws a short info panel
- Works on blocks at close range and on entities a bit further out
- Does not require a special item, charm, or accessory to use
- Briefly suppresses itself when a world boss is nearby so it doesn't clutter the fight
What It Tells You About Blocks
Useful properties of the block are summarized in one glance so you know what you're dealing with before committing to a mining path.
- Block name
- Required tool type (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, shears, unbreakable, etc.)
- Mining tier for custom blocks that gate behind a specific tool tier
- Crop growth stage for farmland crops
- Moisture level for farmland
- Redstone power level when the block carries a signal
- Hopper and dropper state
- Light emission level
- Inventory contents for containers that expose them
What It Tells You About Mobs and Players
Health and any behavior-relevant information shows next to the mob's name. Covers vanilla mobs, custom mobs, villagers, and tameable or rideable creatures.
- Mob name (player name for other players)
- Health bar and exact current and max HP
- Villager profession
- What a tameable mob wants and a rough feel for how likely each feeding is to succeed
- Breeding readiness and remaining breeding cooldown
- Seat count for rideable mobs
- Notes about special behaviors or abilities
- Inventory of mobs that carry items
What It Tells You About Dropped Items
Point at an item lying on the ground and you get the same kind of information the item's tooltip would show, without having to pick it up.
- Item name and stack size
- Durability remaining for tools and armor
- Enchantments with their levels
- Armor protection value
- Nutrition and saturation for food
- Cooldown for items that have one
- Compostability for items the composter accepts
- Can-place-on and can-destroy restrictions
- Ancient Bark repair count for repairable gear
- Time left before the dropped item despawns
Armor HUD
A second on-screen HUD that shows every armor piece you're wearing along with its remaining durability. It sits off to the side of the screen and updates live as your gear takes damage, so you always know how close a piece is to breaking without opening your inventory.
- One row per armor slot: head, chest, legs, and feet
- Each row shows the piece's icon, the current and max durability as a number, and a progress bar along the bottom of the icon
- Works with vanilla armor, Bedrock Reimagined armor and capes, and any wearable block (such as a carved pumpkin) equipped in the head slot
- Empty slots are hidden, so the panel only takes up as much space as the gear you're actually wearing
- Position, size, and opacity are adjustable from the HUD settings menu
- To hide the panel completely, drop its opacity to 0
Settings
Both the WAILA panel and the Armor HUD are on by default. You can reposition or hide either one from the in-game settings menu.
- Open the Bedrock Reimagined Guidebook and go to the Settings menu
- Toggle WAILA on or off under HUD Settings
- Slide the WAILA HUD position along the X and Y axes to place it where it doesn't overlap other UI
- Adjust the Armor HUD's position, size, and opacity from the same menu
- The Armor HUD cannot be toggled off directly; set its opacity to 0 to hide it
