About this Mod

A simple client-side mod that adds customizable tooltips to Minecraft items. Uses resource packs for easy distribution and configuration!

  • Automatic resource pack detection and loading

Configuration

Resource Pack Method

Create resource packs with tooltip configurations in assets/tooltips-dlp8/[your-filename].jsonc:

Important: Use different filenames (like civlabs.jsonc, my-server.jsonc, etc.) instead of tooltips.jsonc to avoid conflicts with the mod's built-in tooltips.

{
  // Example tooltips for CivLabs classes: You can add comments with // or /* */
  "minecraft:diamond_sword": "#e03e2dGuardsman's Weapon#n#resetA sharp blade forged by skilled hands",
  "minecraft:golden_apple": "#b96ad9Healer's Blessing#n#resetRestores health and grants temporary effects"
}

Multiple Resource Packs

The mod supports loading tooltips from multiple resource packs simultaneously. Tooltips from later packs will override earlier ones if they have the same item ID.

Color Codes

  • #RRGGBB - Hex color (e.g., #ff0000 for red)
  • #reset - Reset to default tooltip color
  • #n - New line

  • #b96ad9 - Healer (Purple)
  • #3598db - Librarian (Blue)
