Did you know?
by XianFish
Did you know? shows tips on the Minecraft loading screen, drawn from a tips.json file in a resource pack.
What it does
Tips are shown as tooltips on loading screens, and the mod reads them from a tips.json file that a resource pack provides. Each entry is a key with a localized text in the language files under assets/uknow/lang. A resource pack that holds a valid tips.json is logged as parsed, so a missing entry points to a pack that was not recognized. The configuration screen is reachable through ModMenu. Three categories control whether tips appear on each loading screen, and turning a category off hides tips on that screen. Numeric fields accept typed values as well as increment and decrement buttons, the mouse wheel or clicks, and values with a px suffix are read as pixels, percentages or grid units.
Tips are not repeated in the same sequence. After one full rotation the global order is reshuffled before the next round begins, and tips still repeat across several page switches. Did you know? requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric 26.2. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the source code is public. Files for 26.2 were first published on 2026-08-30 and last updated on 2026-08-31.
