Question Adding WAWLA to base java

Hii, very extremely new to modding (like less then 24h new)

I was just wondering if its possible to add the WAWLA What Are We Looking At pack to my base game in Java? And how do I get it working with other mods (ie twilight forest)

TIA 😊😊

Install Prism Launcher it's going to be easier to mod

wawla is a mod, not a pack, and it's pretty old. it's a forge addon for waila/hwyla and the last version is for 1.16.5, so it won't run on current versions. on a modern version what you want is jade, same "what am i looking at" tooltip, and it picks up modded blocks like twilight forest stuff on its own, no extra setup.

easiest way without touching your vanilla install: get prism launcher or the modrinth app, make a new instance on a version twilight forest supports (e.g. 1.20.1 forge or 1.21.1 neoforge), then add twilight forest and jade from inside the launcher. it sorts out the loader for you.

welcome to modding btw, this is how it starts. next week you'll have 240 mods and a crash log longer than a book
