Everything Descriptions
Everything Descriptions gives items, blocks and mobs a flavour text line that players can read in the tooltip, and the lines are filled in by a resource pack.
What it does
Descriptions are added through language files rather than code. A resource pack holds a lang file with one entry per item, block or mob, and each entry matching the registry name shows its text. The choice of file layout does not change the result, so modpackers can organise entries however they like.
The mod is meant as a small guide for players who want to use some of the less obvious mechanics in vanilla Minecraft. It also suits modpacks and anyone creating a general-purpose info page. A special background can be set for such a page, with a line for each description that matches the entry it belongs to.
Everything Descriptions is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 only, published under the MIT License and open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players install it alone.
Key features
Flavour text on items
Items gain a short descriptive line that appears in their tooltip, giving context beyond the vanilla name.
Blocks and mobs
Blocks and mobs take descriptions the same way, so the text covers more of the game than items alone.
Lang file entries
Each description is an entry in a language file, added through a resource pack without editing the mod.
Mechanics guide
The descriptions point players to less obvious vanilla mechanics, acting as a small in-game guide.

Who it’s for: Modpack makers and players who want more context about items, blocks and mobs in a Forge 1.19.2 game.
