What it does

AnotherTips replaces the plain loading screen with a panel of tips while a world loads. The tips are drawn from the mod's own text entries, so each one can be written and localized like any other language string. Tips are shown in turn, with a timing system that sets how long each one stays on screen.

The mod is a fork of the Tips mod, which adds a similar loading screen. AnotherTips changes how tips are chosen and timed, and it ships a sample config that shows how those settings work. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it.

Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2. The latest file is 1.0.5, dated 2026-02-18. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Loading screen tips

    Tips appear on the loading screen while a world is entered, so players see text instead of an empty wait.

  2. Translatable tip text

    Each tip is a language entry, which makes it simple to add or translate tips for other languages.

  3. Timing control

    A dedicated timing system decides how long each tip stays visible before the next one is shown.

  4. Sample configuration

    A sample config file is included to show how the tip display and timing options work.
