M-Tape

A Fabric mod to measure distances. Originally written by GeeItsZee, ported to Fabric 1. 16. 4 from LiteLoader 1. 10. 2.

This mod currently supports Quilt and Fabric 1. 16.x to 1. 21.x. There is no plan to backport to Fabric 1. 14/1. 15 unless anyone requires it.

## Installation

This mod requires (https://fabricmc.net/use/) and (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api).

• Get Fabric Loader and Fabric API from the provided links and install it for your version of Minecraft, if you don't already have it.
• Download the appropriate version of M-Tape from (https://modrinth.com/mod/mtape), (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mtape) or the (https://gitlab.com/retrixe/mtape/-/releases)
• Go to your `.minecraft` folder [(instructions to find it here)](https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360035131551-Where-are-Minecraft-files-stored-).
• Create a `mods` folder if it doesn't already exist, then copy the Fabric API and M-Tape JARs into it.
• Start the `fabric-loader-xxx` version of Minecraft that you installed in the first step. The mod should be loaded.

• M-Tape is an easy-to-use measuring tape.
• The main keybind to use is the `Set Origin` key (default: I).
• To enable/disable M-Tape, press SHIFT to sneak, then click `Set Origin`. It will begin highlighting the block you are looking at.
• To measure distances, set the origin by looking at the block you want to start measuring from, and clicking `Set Origin`.
• Voilà! The mod will then measure the distance between the origin and the block you look at. The distance will be displayed above the crosshair, and a line will be drawn in-game between the two blocks. You can disable M-Tape to stop measuring.

### Additional Features

If you want the distance to appear in chat as a static message, click the `Send Measurement In Chat` (default: B) key. This message will not change, of course. This does not send the distance to other players though.

M-Tape also allows you to select blocks to keep track of them. When M-Tape is enabled, you can use the `Select Block` (default: G) key to select/unselect the block you are looking at. Selected blocks are highlighted with orange and remain selected even after M-Tape is disabled. You can clear all selected blocks by sneaking and clicking `Select Block`, similar to disabling M-Tape.

If you find any issue with the mod, report it at the issue tracker (https://gitlab.com/retrixe/mtape/-/issues) if it isn't already reported.
