Dynamic Tooltips
by muon-rw
Dynamic Tooltips rewrites how item tooltips show attributes, modifiers and enchantment descriptions on the Fabric client.
What it does
Item tooltips are condensed into a merged view. Attributes that share a name collapse into one line, and holding Shift expands that line to show the original base value and each contributing modifier. Modifiers are colored by their effect, with positive, negative and neutral impacts shown in green, gold or gray, so a lower burning time reads as an improvement.
Enchantment descriptions appear directly below an enchantment name while Shift is held, and always on enchanted books. When Better Combat is installed, attack range and entity interaction range modifiers are merged into the weapon tooltip, and ranged weapons from the Ranged Weapon API show their damage and pull time with the same formatting. Descriptions for other enchantment mods are read from their language files when they provide description keys.
The mod is client-side only, so servers and players without it are unaffected. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, with source code and an issue tracker published. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Fzzy Config. Files cover 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 for Fabric, and the latest file is 1.0.2+26.1.2 for 26.1.2, released 2026-04-28.
