## ![](https://i.imgur.com/kD11hZu.png) OVERVIEW ![](https://i.imgur.com/kD11hZu.png) This datapack is inspired by the [WAILA](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/waila) series. It is compatible with mods and has support for custom blocks from datapacks.

Compatibility

This is probably compatible with most projects, but it's not perfect. All incompatibilities can be resolved on my end so feel free to request fixes on my [issue tracker](https://github.com/GenMode/Minecraft/issues)
