Food Effect Tooltips [Fabric / NeoForge]

by DaFuqs

With Food Effect Tooltips, the status effects a food grants when eaten appear in the item's tooltip, so players can read them without consulting an outside list.

What it does

Many foods grant status effects, but the game never lists them in the item tooltip. The mod adds those effects to the tooltip, including the stat changes each effect causes. Effects that apply only with a percentage chance are handled as well, so the tooltip reflects how the consume component is set up for that item.

The mod also lists effects on items outside the usual food group: milk, which clears status effects, chorus fruit, which teleports the player, a bowl of mushroom soup, and totems that save the player from death. It works alongside other mods that show food information, and Cloth Config API and Fabric API must be installed with it.

The environment is client-side only, so servers do not need the mod and players can add it to any server without changes on the server side. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 21 release versions, 1.17.1 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Effect list in tooltips

    Status effects granted by a food are written into its tooltip, so the effects are visible in the inventory and in item lookup.

  2. Chance-based effects

    Effects that are applied only with a percentage chance are recognized and shown with their chance, rather than as a fixed result.

  3. Stat changes shown

    For each effect the tooltip shows the stat change it produces, such as the strength or duration of the effect.

  4. Special item effects

    Milk, chorus fruit, a bowl of mushroom soup and totems that save the player from death have their effects listed as well.

Use cases

Modded food packs

In modpacks with many food items, the tooltip shows what each one does, so players do not need to memorize every effect.

Food info overlays

The effect text sits alongside other food information mods without replacing their displays.

Who it’s for: Players who use large modpacks with many foods, and players who want to check food effects before eating them. Server owners need nothing extra, since only the client runs the mod.

How it compares

Full comparison

Food Effect Tooltips (Forge) covers the same job on Forge and NeoForge, for 1.16.5 – 1.21.10 and with client-side only operation under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Classic Food is a different kind of mod: it changes foods and is open source under the MIT License, and both the server and clients must run it. Nutritious Milk is server-side only and is not open source.

What the author says

Quite a few food items grant the player bonuses in the form of status effects. These effects, however, are never listed ingame. Which is a nuisance, especially in modded scenarios, where the player is not acquainted with all food options and their effects. With Food Effect Tooltips all effects are shown in the items…
