Example of measuring distance between blocks with M-Tape

Installation

This mod requires Minecraft Java Edition 1.16/1.17/1.18, Fabric Loader and Fabric API.

  • Get Fabric from the provided link and install it for 1.16/1.17/1.18, if you don't have it.
  • Download Fabric API if you don't have it.
  • Download the appropriate version of M-Tape from Modrinth, MinecraftPatch or the GitLab release page.
  • Go to your .minecraft folder (instructions to find it here).
  • 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.

Usage

  • M-Tape is an easy-to-use measuring tape.
  • The main keybind to use is the Set Origin key (default: R).
  • 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.
