I would love a toggle or button or key combo that we could activate to tell us the item ID of a material (block or wood beam for example). So that when we are adding to a building we can easily identify what material we used and then can select the correct color item ID in the crafting bench! You might be able to hover over a material in a build and invoke a command to reveal the label, or turn on a toggle (like "control" when precision building) to then have the labels be activated.
Material Label Toggle, ID label
The next update will be available on Thursday, April 30, around the evening (GMT+2)!

if you hold a block in your hand, anytime you point to a block, the texture id will show in the botom left under the health bar.

Yup. Already have it, and it's as Zork said. Makes sure you have a man-made block with you selected (active) in the hotbar to then hover over blocks. It was a hassle that I asked Red51 to do such, and glad we have such a feature. Was frustrating not knowing what we last used. Thanks, Red51!

I didn't know that because I have to play in windowed mode and the bottom of my screen below the health bar is cut off. I did switch to full screen to check it out, and I see it. If you hover over a block you can get an ID but not if you hover over a board or beam. So adding that would be nice, placing it over the health bar would be nicer (for me
)!The reason I can't use full screen is that the Steam Overlay simply does not work for Mac. I can't run ANY game with Steam Overlay enabled. I do sometimes like to minimize the game and look at something on the web and I can't do it it in fullscreen. The FKeys simply don't work unless I quit the game. Pretty annoying. Yes, Mac just isn't well supported in the game world. Even in windowed mode I can't get the helpful (I hear) help screen to show with F1. Oh well, I can deal with it.
