Hysk-Tooltips
by YkinLing
Hysk-Tooltips shows the vanilla item tooltip above the dropped item a player looks at, with its position, delay and follow behaviour configurable.
What it does
When the crosshair rests on a dropped item, the mod draws that item's tooltip at a configurable point on screen. The tooltip can be offset and anchored relative to the screen through tooltipXOffset and tooltipYOffset settings, and a look delay can be enabled to keep the tooltip from flickering when the crosshair passes over items quickly. A follow mode keeps the tooltip moving with the item and lets it linger for a short time after the player looks away.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. Installation requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Iceberg on Fabric, and Iceberg with Cloth Config API on Forge. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the license is the BSD 2-Clause License, so the project is not open source.
Key features
Dropped item tooltips
The vanilla item tooltip appears above the dropped item the crosshair points at.
Position customization
Offset and anchor settings place the tooltip freely relative to the screen.
Look delay
A configurable delay prevents the tooltip from flickering as the crosshair moves across items.
Multi-item mode
With Enhanced Tooltips, several tooltips can be shown at once, each with its own state, so icon animations keep playing.
