Am I the only one who cant stand having WAILA on ALL the time ? I like having it, and of course it is very useful when you have a ton of mods. But I see that most LPers have it on ALL the time, and I assume the majority of people must too. I on the other hand, have it OFF until I need it. And actually, now that I have the You Will Die Mod, I don't have it at all other than NEIs built in version and I never use it. If I wanna know what a block is I inspect it with You Will Die's built in Examine option with the push of a button and it goes away after a second. I feel like having all the excess info popping up every block I look at somehow takes away from the immersion. It really annoys me. IDK why... After playing a certain pack for even a week, why do you even need it on anyway ? Am I really the ONLY one who is sick of seeing it ??? I am just curious.

Along these lines, does anyone know any other sort of utility mods like this ? I do actually like this sort of thing, I just don't want it ON 24/7, its distracting to me. I want to see a mod with a sort of in-game wiki or something with descriptions of blocks/machines. Of course if every mod had an awesome book like RotaryCraft, this wouldn't be neccessary. Or maybe a mod that has the books like Maricultures or TiCon's books, except instead they could have redstone tutorials or building techniques, etc, that would be neat to me...

WAILA can be turned on and off with the press of a button, as a reminder. Also can tell you a lot more then just what a block is.

If you really want a in-game wiki, I don't know of any, but do suggest WikiLink since it allows you to check wikis quite easily from in game(but you have to go outside of the game to actually check them due to not being able to render webpages in game, apparently).
If you know of a way to actually browse the internet in game(which only one mod can do AFAIK, and it only works on 32bit windows bases systems currently), then the "copy to clipboard" button takes a whole new level of use beyond sending such links from in game chat.
