Nytheria adds many small helper mods that change how the game feels without adding content: a recipe viewer, inventory sorting, richer tooltips, a longer health bar and tools that save clicks. This page belongs to the Controls reference and lists what each helper does and how the pack sets it. Keys are on the Controls page; this page names a key only when it matters.

How to read this page#

Each table lists the mod, what it does for you, and the pack's setting where one matters. Versions are the ones in the current pack, so a newer jar may differ. The mods are grouped by what you meet first.

Recipe viewer and crafting helpers#

EMI is the only recipe viewer in the pack. There is no JEI, REI or Roughly Enough Items. Click an item to see how it is made or what it makes, and use the search box to find any item. Its add-ons show where loot comes from, which ores generate where, enchanting recipes, villager professions and the effect of status effects.

EMI's own keys are on the Controls page. The pack keeps cheat mode off, builds the item list from the creative tabs and shows the search tooltip by default.

Four more helpers sit at the crafting table. Polymorph lets you pick the result when several recipes fit the same items. Visual Workbench keeps items in the crafting table and draws them, and the pack turns the vanilla workbench off in its favour. Not Enough Recipe Book [NERB] removes the vanilla recipe book. Client Crafting and Universal Sawmill are also present.

Inventory, sorting and storage screens#

ModWhat it doesPack setting
Client SortSorts any inventory with the middle mouse button and small buttonsPlain click: creative order; Shift: quantity; Ctrl: alphabet; Alt: raw id; sort sounds off
Inventory EssentialsBulk transfer (single, all, armour sets), bulk drop, shift-drag, tool and stack refillAll enabled; sorting by creative order
Mouse TweaksMouse and scroll-wheel tweaks for moving itemsAll five tweaks on

Pick Up NotifierShows a pick-up log at the bottom right (items, XP, arrows)Combines entries except named items
Shulker Box Tooltip [Fabric/Forge/NeoForge]Previews the contents of a shulker box in its tooltip-

Middle mouse is shared between picking a block and four sort actions. How that behaves is on the Controls page. Backpack and storage-network screens are covered on Backpacks & Portable Storage and Storage & Logistics.

Tooltips and information#

ModWhat it doesPack setting
Jade 🔍Look-at box for blocks and entities, with add-ons Jade Addons and Jade Modded EntitiesUses the Mandala's GUI theme; no default key
AppleSkinFood values in tooltips, saturation and food overlays, exhaustion bar, predicted healthFood values always shown
Durability TooltipDurability numbers in tool tooltipsNumbers style, varying colour, also for modded tools
Mining Speed TooltipsMining speed in tool tooltips-

Horse ExpertSpeed, jump and health of horsesTamed horses only
Simply TooltipsDraws the tooltipsG cycles the tooltip tab
BetterF3Replaces the F3 debug screen with a tidier one-
ObservableLag profilerNo default key

Almanac is a library mod, not a guide book. The Jade theme lives inside the Mandala's GUI x Nytheria resource pack, which is why the menus and the Jade box share a look.

HUD, chat and menus#

ModWhat it does
Overflowing BarsShows health, armour and toughness beyond ten icons as extra rows and moves the chat above the armour bar
Status Effect BarsDraws remaining-time bars for status effects
Immersive Armor HUDShows armour durability next to the hotbar

Menus and loading screens get their own helpers:

Everyday helpers#

These are the mods that change what a click does. None needs a key unless noted.

ModWhat it doesPack setting
FallingTreeFells the whole tree at onceUp to 150 logs; sneak while chopping breaks one log; no enchantment needed
Leaves Be GoneSpeeds up leaf decay-
RightClickHarvestRight-click ripe crops to harvest and replantNeeds a hoe; harvests in a radius; no XP effect

ClumpsMerges XP orbs-
ItemPhysicDropped items lie flat on the groundCactus damage to items off; fall sounds on
Carry OnPick up block entities such as chests, animals and playersKey: Left Shift, shared with sneak

Also present in this group are Universal Bone Meal, Jump Over Fences, Double Doors, Magnum Torch and Smarter Farmers; the pack does not change their settings in a way this wiki tracks.

Three camera and view helpers work in every dimension. Better Third Person gives a free camera in third person and aims where you interact. BoatView360 removes the 210 degree look limit in boats. Just Zoom zooms while you hold C; the mouse side buttons 9 and 10 and the scroll wheel zoom in and out, and your arms and the HUD are hidden while you zoom. A spyglass uses the same zoom.

Sleep, death and respawn#

  • Early Bedtime lets you sleep from tick 11,500 instead of vanilla's later threshold. Early Bedtime is set to 11,500 ticks in the pack, and according to the mod's description it exists for shader packs that get dark quickly.
  • You're in Grave Danger creates a grave block where you die. You're in Grave Danger stores your items and XP, tells you where the grave is, and gives them back when you click it. No item or shovel is needed. The grave glows within 15 blocks, and other players can rob it after 24 hours. Graves have no timeout and can form in the void.
  • On respawn the pack sets the Grave Compass to be handed to you, and your hunger and saturation are reset. Soulbound items stay with you. Death scrolls, death sight and grave keys are switched off. Whether the compass is really handed out has not been tested.
  • Charm of Undying lets the Totem of Undying work as an accessory: Charm of Undying (Fabric/Forge/Quilt) renders the totem on you while it is equipped.

The full rules, including beds and respawn anchors per dimension, are on Death, Graves & Respawning.

Notes#

  • The versions in this page are the ones in the current pack. Mod authors change settings between versions, so the wiki follows the pack as of its facts date.
  • Inventory Essentials, ClientSort and Mouse Tweaks react to the same middle-click and scroll inputs. How they combine in play has not been tested, and neither has ClientSort with the Obscura terminals.
  • Obscura is a storage mod; see Storage Networks.
