WAILA (What Am I Looking At) is a useful mod in Minecraft that provides information about blocks and entities when you look at them. However, sometimes WAILA doesn’t display the expected information. This article addresses the issue of WAILA not showing information for Thermal Expansion Energy Cells in Minecraft 1.5.2, specifically focusing on whether comparators are displayed correctly by the mod.
The configuration file for WAILA includes settings for various modules and their displayed information. Within the configuration, there’s a specific setting for Thermal Expansion energy cells: B:thermalexpansion.energycell=true. This line indicates that the display of energy cell information should be enabled. Furthermore, the configuration includes a section for “server_forcing,” where B:thermalexpansion.energycell=false. This setting prevents the server from overriding the client’s configuration for this specific module. In theory, with these settings, WAILA should display information about Thermal Expansion Energy Cells.
However, as shown in the images below, the option for displaying Thermal Expansion energy cell information is greyed out and set to “no” in the WAILA interface.
This suggests a potential conflict or bug within the WAILA mod itself, its interaction with Thermal Expansion, or potentially another mod installed. While the configuration explicitly enables this feature, the in-game behavior contradicts this. The issue is not directly related to comparators in Minecraft 1.5.2, but rather WAILA’s ability to display information for specific mods. The comparator setting in the configuration (B:vanilla.comparator=true) controls whether WAILA shows the output signal strength of comparators, a separate functionality from the Thermal Expansion energy cell display.
In conclusion, while the provided configuration appears correctly set to display Thermal Expansion energy cell information, WAILA fails to do so. Further troubleshooting is required to determine the root cause of this issue. This might involve checking for mod conflicts, updating WAILA or Thermal Expansion to newer versions if compatible with 1.5.2, or consulting the WAILA and Thermal Expansion communities for known issues and solutions.
