HideTooltip
by Lavrin
HideTooltip lets players keep item tooltips hidden by default and show them only while they hold Left Alt, or switch between hidden and visible modes with V.
What it does
Item tooltips normally appear on every hover, which can crowd a busy inventory. HideTooltip suppresses them until a player needs them. In Hold Show mode the tooltip appears only while Left Alt is held. In Toggle Mode, pressing V flips between always hidden and always visible, and a short status message above the hotbar confirms each change. The mod works inside inventory and container screens.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It runs in single-player worlds and on multiplayer clients alike. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Server-side installation is not needed for the mod to work, and the English and Ukrainian languages are both included.
Key features
Two interaction modes
Hold Show keeps tooltips hidden until Left Alt is pressed, while Toggle Mode switches between always hidden and always visible.
Quick mode switch
Pressing V changes the mode instantly, so a player can reveal tooltips for one check and hide them again.
Status overlay
A clean message above the hotbar reports each mode change, so the current state is always visible.
Inventory compatibility
Tooltip hiding applies inside the inventory and other container screens, not only in the open world.
Bilingual interface
The mod includes English and Ukrainian language support for its messages and options.

How it compares
Don't Hide The Tooltip is also a client-side tooltip option, but it is Fabric-only, covers 1.20.4 – 26.3, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Bilingual Tooltips is client-side and open source under the MIT License, for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it lacks Forge files. Tooltip Icons is client-side and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, but is not open source and is licensed under the MIT License.
