Modern Tooltips

Modern Tooltips

A clean, modern redesign of Minecraft’s item tooltips, with information that’s actually easy to read.

Modern Tooltips replaces the old purple-bordered tooltip box with a sleek dark panel. It reorganises everything inside it so you can see what an item does at a glance.

✨ Features

A modern look

• Dark panel with rounded corners and a soft drop shadow
• Border and header glow tinted by the item’s rarity
• The item’s icon sits next to its name, with a divider underneath
• Tooltips slide in smoothly when they appear

Material-themed gear

• Tools, weapons and armor show a faint texture of what they’re made of: diamond, netherite, iron, gold, copper, stone, wood, chainmail, prismarine for the trident, heavy core for the mace
• Gear names take their material’s colour, like diamond cyan, gold yellow or copper orange
• Everything else gets a subtle stone background

Enchantments you can understand

• Every enchantment has its own pixel-art icon and its own colour
• The actual effect at its current level is shown: +3 Damage, −16% Damage, ×4 Durability, Burns 8s…
• A short description explains what each enchantment does
• Sharpness’s bonus is shown right next to your Attack Damage

Potions at a glance

• Each effect shows its vanilla effect icon, so resource packs that change them change them here too
• Effects are colour-coded with Minecraft’s own effect colours: Speed cyan, Regeneration pink, Poison green, and more
• The real effect at its level is shown: +40% Speed, +1 HP / 1.25s, −80% Damage, +8 Health…
• A short description and the duration sit underneath each effect
• Works for potions, splash and lingering potions, tipped arrows and suspicious stew

Clear stats

• Attack damage, speed, armor, toughness and more are laid out as tidy rows, with the value right-aligned
• Each stat has a little Minecraft-style icon: a sword for damage, a shield for armor, a heart for health, and more
• Section headings like “When in Main Hand” and “When Applied” with a clean divider line
• A durability bar shows how worn an item is, colour-coded green, yellow or red

Magical enchanted items

• Enchanted items get a glowing lavender rim with a soft pulsing halo
• The item name shimmers, with a glint sweeping across it
• Little sparkles twinkle across the tooltip

📦 Requirements

• Minecraft 26.2
• Fabric Loader (Fabric API is not required)
• Client-side only, so it works on any server

🔧 Compatibility

• Works in every inventory screen, including the creative inventory and creative search
• Items with a custom tooltip style from datapacks or mods keep their own look
• Lines it doesn’t recognise (lore, text from other mods) are left as they are
• Modded enchantments get a star icon, and show a description if the mod provides one in the format the Enchantment Descriptions mod uses
• Modded potion effects get a tinted bottle icon
• Likely to conflict with other mods that also redraw tooltips
