About this Mod
Note: By default, Simply Tooltips will only render for modded items that have valid Simply Tooltip theme files created (such as Simply Swords and Simply Bows).
- To enable tooltips for ALL modded items, enable 'applyTooltipsToModItems' in the config.
- To enable tooltips for vanilla items, enable 'applyTooltipsToVanillaItems' in the config.
Creating custom themes
Simply Tooltips allows you to create your own tooltip themes, and apply them to any item in the game (modded or vanilla). This is entirely data driven, allowing these themes to be applied via resourcepacks.
For information on how to create and assign these themes, please see the GitHub page.
Misc
Simply Tooltips allows you to generate gifs of any on-screen tooltip by pressing the hotkey ('H' by default). This saves a short gif of the tooltip to the screenshots folder. Useful for showcasing your custom themes.

Does Simply Tooltips need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Simply Tooltips 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 Simply Tooltips require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.20.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Simply Tooltips 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.
