Food Effect Tooltips (Forge)
by Suel_ki
With Food Effect Tooltips, the tooltip of any food that grants a status effect lists that effect when the item is hovered in the inventory.
What it does
Many food items give the player status effects when eaten, but those effects are not written anywhere in the game. The mod adds them to the item tooltip, which helps in modded packs where a player may not know what every food does. Effects that apply only with a percentage chance are listed as chances, and stat changes caused by an effect are shown alongside it.
The mod runs on the client only, so servers and other players need nothing installed. It is built for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.16.5 – 1.21.10, and it can be used with Cloth Config API as an optional dependency for its settings. Its code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
