What it does

Tooltips for items and certain interface elements, such as item names and creative tab names, can be given a custom colour in the configuration. Colours are written as ARGB hex strings, which are like RGB hex codes with two extra characters at the start that set transparency. Players unfamiliar with hex notation can pick a colour with an online colour picker and paste the value in. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 18 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.19.2, and the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, making the mod open source.

Key features

  1. Configurable tooltip colours

    The colour of tooltip text can be set in the configuration file for the client.

  2. ARGB hex colour format

    Colours use an eight-digit ARGB hex string, where the first two digits control transparency.

  3. Item and interface tooltips

    Item tooltips and some interface tooltips, such as creative tab names, take the chosen colour.

Questions

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

How is a colour value chosen?

A colour can be picked with an online colour picker and entered as an ARGB hex string, with the two transparency digits at the start.
