📋 About This Mod
# Item Tooltips The goal of Item Tooltips is to be the most comprehensive solution to common player, modpack and mod developer needs in regards to tooltips. Therefore, a substantial variety of new tooltip features are contained within this mod - from durability, to attributes, to custom item descriptions, to enchantment descriptions and more. Item Tooltips places a significant emphasis on configurability, allowing you to easily create custom visual styles for each feature to an extent often not provided by other projects, through custom colors, text styles and more which can be changed individually per-feature. Oh, and we have configurable tooltip wrapping to accomodate the above, too. ### Durability & Attribute Tooltips **Durability Tooltips** Item Tooltips has simply configurable durability tooltips, which show the current and max durability based on the configuration style you've selected. The color for the tooltip can be changed to whatever you desire, and the durability number itself pulls its color straight from the vanilla durability bar for consistency. **Mining Speed** By default, a green attribute tooltip is added for tool mining speed, matching the attack damage and attack speed tooltips present in vanilla. Whilst we are able to filter out most items which shouldn't have the tooltip, there is an additional item tag (#item_tooltips:hidden_mining_speed) which can be used to blacklist provided items from displaying a mining speed. ### Item Descriptions !(https://github.com/Rebel459/item-tooltips/blob/example-resources/example.gif?raw=true) **Adding Item Descriptions** Simply add any blocks / items you'd like to add descriptions to to the `#item_tooltips:has_description` tag. The translation keys simply add a ".desc" onto the end of the original item name, as with other existing enchantment description mods. For example, the description translation key for the Totem of Undying, if tagged in `#item_tooltips:has_description`, would be `item.minecraft.totem_of_undying.desc` It is important to note that this feature does nothing on its own without a modpack or mod developer using it themselves - the above GIF is simply an example. **Blacklisting Item Descriptions** Any item added to the item tag `#item_tooltips:util/description_blacklist` will be excluded from having a description, regardless of other tags. Particularly useful for modpack developers. **Removing Shift Notices** Any item added to the item tag `#item_tooltips:util/no_shift_notice` will not have a shift notice, regardless of the mod config. This is particularly useful for adding tooltips to items which already have a shift notice added by another mod. Details on description configuration options can be found further below. **Use in Modpacks** Item Tooltips can serve as a handy utility mod for modpack development. Simply add any items you want to the tag, write a translation, and you're good to go! For this purpose, I'd suggest a mod such as (https://modrinth.com/mod/simple-resource-loader) in order to load your custom data/resources. **An example datapack and resourcepack format can be found (https://github.com/Rebel459/item-tooltips/tree/example-resources).** ### Enchantment Descriptions !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/064f3a36dd2a0b9f91fb34495d9dab08cfff9418.png) Comes with enchantment descriptions for all vanilla enchantments, and uses the common `enchantment.namespace.item_name.desc` language key, which means many modded enchantments will work out-of-the-box. Unlike many other enchantment description mods, Item Tooltips applies its tooltips to both the item and the enchanting table screen. As with all other modules of this project, enchantment descriptions are fully configurable, including colors, prefixes and more. ### Wrapping Text Item Tooltips adds text wrapping (ported from (https://modrinth.com/mod/adaptive-tooltips) / (https://modrinth.com/mod/better_tooltips)), which automatically moves descriptions to the next line should text get too long. Details on tooltip configuration options can be found further below. ### Configuration Item Tooltips has a configuration file located at `config/item_tooltips.json5` If (https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu) is installed on Fabric, you can also edit the config file in-game. **Items** ``` enum DurabilityTooltip { ALWAYS, // always shows the tooltip DAMAGED, // only shows the tooltip when the item is not at full durability HOLD_KEY, // only shows the tooltip when the specified key is held NONE // disables the feature entirely } ``` `durability.durability_tooltip` - defaults to `ALWAYS`. How durability should be shown, as according to the DurabilityToolip enum `durability.max_durability_tooltip` - defaults to `DAMAGED`. How max durability should be shown, as according to the DurabilityToolip enum `durability.division_text` - default

### Durability & Attribute Tooltips
Durability Tooltips

The color for the tooltip can be changed to whatever you desire, and the durability number itself pulls its color straight from the vanilla durability bar for consistency.

Adding Item Descriptions
Simply add any blocks / items you'd like to add descriptions to to the `#item_tooltips:has_description` tag. The translation keys simply add a ".desc" onto the end of the original item name, as with other existing enchantment description mods.
For example, the description translation key for the Totem of Undying, if tagged in `#item_tooltips:has_description`, would be `item.minecraft.totem_of_undying.desc`
It is important to note that this feature does nothing on its own without a modpack or mod developer using it themselves - the above GIF is simply an example.
Blacklisting Item Descriptions
Any item added to the item tag `#item_tooltips:util/description_blacklist` will be excluded from having a description, regardless of other tags. Particularly useful for modpack developers.
Removing Shift Notices
Any item added to the item tag `#item_tooltips:util/no_shift_notice` will not have a shift notice, regardless of the mod config. This is particularly useful for adding tooltips to items which already have a shift notice added by another mod.

Use in Modpacks
Item Tooltips can serve as a handy utility mod for modpack development. Simply add any items you want to the tag, write a translation, and you're good to go! For this purpose, I'd suggest a mod such as (https://modrinth.com/mod/simple-resource-loader) in order to load your custom data/resources.
