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 /* */
