What is Paint's GUI Peeper?

When you place a furnace, smoker, blast furnace, brewing stand, jukebox, or beehive, then item display entities will appear showing you what is inside those blocks. If you set down a campfire, then you can see how long until your food is cooked with the help of a text display entity. The block needs to be placed by a player.

The block immediately above the peepable block needs to be "free space". Without "free space", your display entities will disappear and you'll have to re-place the block to get them back.

"Free space" includes:
air, cave_air, void_air
buttons
glow_lichen
hopper (for brewing stand only)
pressure_plates
signs (not hanging)
trapdoors
vine (swamp/jungle variety)
water



The display entities will also disappear within 1 second of their peepable block being mined or destroyed.

How can I tell which potions are in my brewing stands?

Since potions don't change their appearance when upgraded, I made them display particles to distinguish them:

* All potions produce the effect particles of their own color.

* Extended potions produce redstone dust particles.

* Potions strengthened with glowstone dust produce yellow dust particles.

* Awkward potions produce nether wart block particles.

* Thick potions produce glowstone block particles.

* Mundane potions produce cyan terracotta particles.


Won't this cause lag?

It could. I only play singleplayer and I don't notice anything, and I use this feature a lot. But if you have too many peepable blocks in your simulated chunks, you will get a graph like this when you press F3 and Alt:

This is because all display entities update once per second, so there's a blip once per second. Place non-free space blocks over them to make the display entities vanish, like torches.

There is no need to unzip the downloaded file. It works as-is.

Happy peeping!
