Glint
Glint restyles item tooltips in the Minecraft client, adding rarity colors, enchantment-based borders, custom icons and glow effects.
What it does
Glint changes how item tooltips are drawn. Each rarity level gets its own color scheme, and a tooltip can carry a custom background, a border and a glow. Enchantment icons and colors are drawn from the vanilla enchantment set, so an enchanted item shows its enchantments at a glance, and the dominant enchantment sets the styling when an item has several.
Glint works on Fabric only and is for 26.1.2, the single game version it targets. Because it is client-side only, servers run without it and players install it alone. Fabric API and Mod Menu are required, with Mod Menu providing the settings screen where each style can be enabled or disabled. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Rarity-based styling
Items are colored and framed according to their rarity, so common and rare gear can be told apart in the inventory.
Enchantment-based borders
Tooltip borders take their color from the enchantments on an item, and an item with several enchantments follows the dominant one.
Custom backgrounds and icons
Tooltip backgrounds can be changed, and enchantment icons are drawn in their own colors next to the name.
Glow effects and toggles
A glow can be added to tooltips, and each style can be switched on or off to suit the player's taste.

How it compares
Yet Another Durability Tooltip is a client-side only Fabric mod for 26.1.1 – 26.2 that is not open source, so it covers durability rather than the full tooltip look. Legacy Potion Colors is also client-side only on Fabric, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and targets 1.20.5 – 26.2 for potion colors. Glint is narrower in version range than either and covers item tooltips in general.
