Cozy Tips
by JustErikSK
Cozy Tips is a client-side Fabric utility for players and modpack creators who want custom messages shown on the loading screen.
What it does
Tips are kept in a local cozytips.json file inside the config folder, so a modpack author can write gameplay hints, lore lines or fun facts without pulling text from an external source. The file is opened from the config folder and edited directly, and the mod needs no other source of content.
Each tip appears on the loading screen and can be configured for how often it changes, its title, the colors of the title and text, and how low or high it sits on the screen. Players who prefer a plain loading screen can disable tips in the config. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything.
Cozy Tips is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, with v1.2.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features

Tips appear on the loading screen and can be written as gameplay hints, lore or fun facts for a pack.
Editable config file
The cozytips.json file holds all tip text, so messages can be changed without rebuilding anything.
Display timing
A setting controls how often the displayed tip changes while the game loads.
Title and text colors
The title and body of each tip have separate color settings in the config.

Use cases
Modpack messages
A modpack author can add hints about the pack's systems, quests or progression so new players see them at startup.
Personal flavor
A player running a single-player world can add short lore lines or reminders to the loading screen.
Who it’s for: Modpack creators who want pack-specific messages without external services, and players who want a little extra text on the loading screen.
How it compares
Immersive Tips is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is built for 1.20 – 1.21.1, so it covers loaders Cozy Tips does not. Loading Screen Tips is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric and Quilt for 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, a wider version range than the Fabric-only Cozy Tips. SuperSimpleTips is Fabric-only for 1.21 – 1.21.4 under a custom license that is not open source.
