Potion Descriptions
Adds effect descriptions to potion tooltips
About this Mod
The Fabric/Quilt version requires Cloth Config!
It is also highly recommended to install TooltipFix for the best experience.
This little client side mod was greatly inspired by Enchantment Descriptions by Darkhax and does a similar thing for potions. When you are sneaking (configurable), potion tooltips will display effect descriptions. No more forgetting what all these status effects do!
Currently, descriptions are available for any items that use the same NBT structure as vanilla potions and suspicious stews (configurable), but there is explicit support for some potion-like items from other mods! See below for the full list.
Supported mods (Forge)
- Actually Additions (1.12.2 only)
- Botania
- Reliquary
- Rustic (1.12.2 only)
Supported mods (Fabric/Quilt)
If you want to contribute to this list or add localization for your language, pull requests are highly appreciated! ;)
To add a description, you need to insert the following line to the language file:
POTION.description=Description (1.19.2)
description.POTION=Description (pre 1.19.2)
where POTION is the name of the potion effect. When in doubt, you can enable logging of missing descriptions in the config.

Does Potion Descriptions need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Potion Descriptions as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Potion Descriptions require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.19.2, 1.18.2, 1.16.5. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Potion Descriptions is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
