Adaptive Tooltips
by isxander
With Adaptive Tooltips installed, a long tooltip can be read in full: the mod wraps, centers, repositions or scrolls tooltips that would otherwise run off the screen.
What it does
Vanilla tooltips are not wrapped intelligently, so a tooltip too long for the window can be cut off at its edges. Adaptive Tooltips splits such lines at word boundaries into as many lines as needed, and each wrapping method can be switched on or off in the settings.
The mod covers several cases: it can keep a tooltip that is taller than the screen anchored to its top edge, center a tooltip that does not fit on either side, move it to the corner with the least obstruction of the cursor, or let it scroll. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with public links to the source code and issue tracker. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and Mod Menu is optional. It runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 26.3, with files spanning 1.19 – 26.3 across 12 release versions.
Key features
Screen width wrapping
Lines wrap at the screen width minus 15 pixels, and the option is meant to be paired with bedrock-style centering.
Remaining width wrapping
Lines fill the space left until the tooltip reaches the screen edge, on whichever side needs less wrapping.
Half screen width wrapping
Tooltips are limited to half the width of the screen, so their text stays in a narrow column.
Smart wrapping
Lines that are much longer than the rest are wrapped, with a hard limit of three quarters of the screen width.
Bottom-anchored overflow
A tooltip taller than the screen is anchored to the bottom edge instead of the top, so the less important part is the one cut off.

What the author says
Highly configurable tooltip rendering, so you can always read them! Vanilla tooltips are not very smart: this mod aims to fix that. In vanilla, there are a lot of situations (especially when modded) where you just cannot read a tooltip due to it being just too long to fit on the screen. There are many solutions!
