Coloured Categories
by Stapleton
Coloured Categories colours the names of item tooltip categories in Forge, with several colourways and a random default.
What it does
The mod gives item tooltips coloured category labels. A colourway sets the palette, and the default option picks colours at random for the parts of each tooltip. Developers can add their own colourways through KubeJS, which is an optional dependency. Forge is the only loader with files, for 1.12.2, 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4. Only the client needs it, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Colourway palettes
Each colourway sets a fixed set of colours for tooltip categories, so the look stays consistent across items.
Random default colours
The default setting colours tooltip parts at random, giving each item's tooltip a different mix of colours.
KubeJS colourways
With KubeJS installed, scripts can launch new colourways as well as the ones that ship with the mod.
