Overview

This is a utility mod designed for map makers and modpack authors.

It provides modpack creators with a low‑threshold way to manipulate item tooltip content.

Features

The mod has three operation modes:

• Replace (corresponding replace folder): Clears the original tooltip and writes custom text.
• Append (corresponding append folder): Adds text starting from the line directly below the original tooltip.
• Extra (corresponding extra folder): Shows extra text when holding Shift.

All three modes can work simultaneously, applied in the order: Replace → Append → Extra.

How to Use

The mod is extremely easy to use – you only need a basic understanding of JSON format and Minecraft registry names.

Simply write a JSON file, place it in the folder corresponding to the mod ID and the desired mode. The JSON file name does not matter; the mod will read all JSON files under the correct path.

Supports \n for line breaks and vanilla control characters.

<modpack root>

    │   │       └── XXX.json

    │   │       └── XXX.json
    │   └── extra/

Configuration Example
