    I realize that the game is still incomplete but I wanted to check anyway. In the recent sand demonstration livestream
    i noticed there were no mouseover names for the raw bacon and cooked bacon items. It would seem to be a key feature to have mouseover names on all inventory items, and was wondering if it is being considered for implementation in the final release or if there is another way to identify inventory items.

    This will probably be (and should be) implemented. I'm sure no one wants to memorize each block type and it's name, because I know I sure don't!

    Yeah it should really be implemented, one of the most useful things in the game.

    I'd presume this is something that will definitely make it in. No one could properly remember every. single. block. and still have fun.

    It's completely different, instead of tying a number to a name you have to tie two blocks that are 99% the same to two different names. Not the mention minecraft 'only' had 450-500 ID's, now we have Starbound with hundreds of armours alone, not even mentioning furniture, a ton of building blocks, a ton of environmental blocks, the different kinds of loot etc.

    This is not as much a problem with remembering the name as it is properly labelling several very same looking blocks.
