About this Mod

Better Tooltips takes the guesswork out of Minecraft. Instead of just seeing "Sharpness V," this mod calculates exactly what that means for your gameplay. It injects dynamic, calculated data into your item tooltips to help you make better decisions in the heat of battle or while mining.

🚀 Key Features
📊 Advanced Durability Stats: * Displays current durability vs. max durability with a color-coded percentage (Green > Yellow > Red).

Smart Estimation: If your tool has Unbreaking, the mod calculates approximately how many actual uses you have left based on the enchantment level.

🎣 Master Fisherman Stats:

Specifically for Fishing Rods, it shows your Bite Wait time in seconds (calculated by Lure level).

Shows the exact probability percentages for catching Fish, Treasure, or Junk (calculated by Luck of the Sea level).

⚔️ Combat Math:

Swords & Axes: Shows the exact attack damage bonus (+0.5 per Sharpness level, etc.).

Armor: Shows the percentage of damage reduction (e.g., "Protection IV -> -16% damage").

Bows: Calculates the massive percentage boost provided by the Power enchantment.

⛏️ Efficiency Descriptions:

Converts Efficiency levels into readable speeds: from "Slightly Faster" (Level 1) to "Blazing Fast" (Level 5).

🍎 Nutritional Info:

Instantly see how much Hunger and Saturation a food item provides.

Lists all status effects that will be applied upon eating.

🛠️ Technical Details
Client-Side Only: This mod does not need to be on the server. You can use it on any vanilla or modded server!

Lightweight: Uses a single Mixin to ItemStack to ensure zero impact on your FPS.

Clean UI: Adds a subtle spacer between the vanilla tooltip and the "Smart" stats to keep things readable.

Why this mod?
Unlike other "Tooltip" mods that just show NBT tags, Better Tooltips is designed for survival players. It answers the question: "How many more blocks can I mine before this breaks?" or "How much better is this bow than my last one?"
