About this Mod

Tooltip Overhaul ✨

A complete visual refresh for Minecraft tooltips, completely replacing the vanilla tooltip system with a clearer layout. Every tooltip, more modern, sharper, clearer

 

Core Features πŸ”§

πŸ“œ Scrollable Tooltips - When a tooltip is too tall and goes beyond the screen limits, you can scroll through its content.
βœ‚οΈ Text Wrapping - Prevents tooltips from being too wide by inserting line breaks where needed.
πŸ¦‹β€‹ Equipment Comparison - Built in toggleable equipment comparison functionality for comparison of armor pieces with the currently equipped one. You can change the keybind in-game.
🀝 Compatibility - Works with JEI, EMI, ModernFix, Flerovium, FTB Quests, Apotheosis, etc.
🎨 Maximum Customization - You can change, crop, expand and move whatever you want! Customize freely among a big variety of options!
πŸ“Š Rating Element - Just below the item name, a rarity/qualifier appears (configurable, off by default).
⚑ Effects & Frames - Choose from animated frames, overlays, and custom styles, among other content.
🧩 Mod Compatibility - Any mod can add its own custom frames.
πŸŒ€ 3D Item Rendering - A 3D icon appears when hovering over items.
🎲 Vignette - A new type of decoration that allows you to add internal gradients of various shapes to the tooltip.
🎠 Tooltip animations - You can add appear/disappear animations to any tooltips you want!
🍳 Custom borders - Choose from a suite of predefined corner styles and choose the one that suits your preferences.
❄️ In-game config screen - Additionally, a fully custom config screen can be opened to access the settings from within the game.
πŸ”₯ In-game live preview - When modifying specific items, you can preview in real time the changes made to the appearance of the tooltips, accessible through the mod config

 

πŸ“¦ By default, some vanilla items include frames.
If you like the idea, we can create custom frames for the most requested mods and add native support. πŸ™Œ

 

This mod is highly configurable. For any questions, problems, contributions, new ideas about content/mods, and more, you can join our πŸ’¬ official Discord and comment in the appropriate channels.

Configuration βš™οΈ

There are two ways to configure the tooltips: globally or specifically. πŸ“

  •   For global configurations, you must modify the file config/tooltipoverhaul/tooltipoverhaul.toml, which contains configuration options that apply equally to all items.
  •   For specific configurations (for particular items, tags or namespaces/modids), you must modify the file located at  config/tooltipoverhaul/custom_frames.json. For more information on how to work with this file, please follow this wiki.

To reload the specific configurations, you can use the command '/tooltipoverhaul reload' without having to restart the game, while global settings are reloaded automatically!

 

⚠️ The mod now includes an in-game config tool for visually configuring everything with just a few clicks, without needing to access the physical files. Additionally, for specific configurations, a live preview is also included (through the in-game config), updating in real time so you don't have to waste time searching for specific settings on the wiki!

 

Resource Packs 🎨

Resource Packs can also be created in order to add custom frames or custom configurations. For more information, check the wiki.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tooltip Overhaul need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Tooltip Overhaul 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 Tooltip Overhaul require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.5, 1.21.1, 1.21. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Tooltip Overhaul 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.
