Description

With a big mod list it can sometimes be confusing how to get items and where they are used. This mod adds a button to the top of the screen where you can drop items to find out how to get them and where to spend them. Click with an empty hand to open a drop-down menu for fluids.

There also is a shotcut (ctrl+f by default) to instantly search the current item in your hand or open a search bar when your hand is empty.
