Idwtialsimmoedm
by glisco
With Idwtialsimmoedm, enchantment descriptions appear in item tooltips on the client without a separate library.
What it does
The mod shows a description of each enchantment in the tooltip of an item that carries it. The author wrote it to avoid installing a library for the same purpose. Two options narrow when the tooltip appears: one restricts it to moments when Shift is held, the other restricts it to Enchanted Books. Idwtialsimmoedm runs in the client only, so a server does not need it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, covering 1.18.1 – 1.21.8, and the code is under the MIT License and open source. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency for its settings screen.
Key features
Tooltip on Shift
An option limits the description tooltip so it appears only while the Shift key is held down.
Enchanted Books only
An option limits descriptions to Enchanted Books, so other items keep their normal tooltips.
Enchantment descriptions
Each enchantment on an item gets a written description in its tooltip, shown alongside the item name.

What the author says
idwtialsimmoedm adds descriptions to tooltips that contain enchantments or status effects. It uses the same language-key format as Enchantment Descriptions, so all mods that already have descriptions available will be compatible out of the box. idwtialsimmoedm however is completely standalone and very lightweight…
