From the Creator of BMod:

Have you ever wanted JUST the informational accessories from this mod so that the content can be separated? Introducing BTech: Information Optimized!

If you like the Cell Phone from Terraria, this is right up your alley. Practically a Minecraft equivalent, this mod is!

Changes from the last version:


  • The O hotkey has been removed. In previous versions, this toggled the entire overlay on the left side of the screen.
    Now, you can right-click the PDA to access the GUI in the mod title to Enable All, Disable All, or selectively choose screen information!
  • More informational accessories! This version includes new informational tools such as the Appraiser. This page will go over what each tool does.
  • Animated sprites for almost all informational tools! This will add a dynamic flair to your inventory as you work your way towards building the PDA!

  • Global and local variable management implemented! That means that the PDA should work on a per-player basis for local variables instead of jumbling global variables. You won't notice a difference unless you play this mod in multiplayer.
  • Added a new tool, the Magnet! The magnet draws in items from a larger range!

Now, for the contents!

Primary level information accessories:
What does primary level mean? These items serve one function at most.

Calendar:

The recipe for the Calendar.

The Calendar displays the current day and, if the world is old enough, displays year, too!

Sextant:

The recipe for the Sextant.

The Sextant displays the current moon phase. Never miss another bountiful night of slime slaughter in the swamps.

Weather Radio:

The recipe for the Weather Radio.

The Weather Radio displays the weather on the surface. Catch every opportunity to catch fish at increased speeds during rainstorms, and know when to stay inside for thunderstorms!

Clock and Compass:

The vanilla Clock and Compass have extra features:

  • The Clock displays the time down to the minute in a 12 hour AM / PM format.
  • The Compass displays your position in meters from the origin of the map.
    It also tells you which direction you are facing, like a real compass!

Depth Gauge:

The recipe for the Depth Gauge.

The Depth Gauge displays your current depth. It adjusts based on the dimension's sea level. In the End, it is useful for knowing when you are treading into dangerous territory!

Stopwatch:

The recipe for the Stopwatch.

The Stopwatch displays your current speed. Optimize your travel times by keeping this number as high as possible!

Metal Detector:

The recipe for the Metal Detector.

The recipe for the Appraiser.

The Appraiser displays the durability values of your equipment on screen! Now you don't have to open your inventory and make yourself vulnerable to know when to retreat from battle!

Radar:

The recipe for the Radar.

The Radar displays the count of hostile creatures within hearing range, which is usually aggression range. This can be the difference between a Creeper getting a sneak up on you and not!

The Biome Analyzer tells you the name of the biome you're currently in. That's about it. Works with other mods, too!

Changelog

V 1.2.1


-Changed the Stopwatch speed calculation equation to handle vertical movement of entities better.
-Changed the Appraiser so that it accurately displays the number of uses a tool has left. (Tools break at 0 instead of at -1)

This is a really good mod, i like the textures, but i think calendar may be a little useless because theres a day counter in the f3 menu. Really cool and useful mod

This mod is intended to kinda add the F3 menu to Survival in a more immersive way, if you think about it.
Lots of the tool functions are covered by the F3 menu, but if you are playing with the gamerule reducedDebugInfo, these tools are the only way to get this information! I think it's better for this reason.
