What it does

InGameTips displays tips directly in the game as popup help, aimed at players who want to understand the content of a world or modpack better. Tips can be shown from the server, so every player on a server running the mod with its tips sees them. The mod is built for modpack makers, server owners and mod creators who want to make content simpler to grasp.

The mod works on Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. Architectury API and Forge Config API Port are required, while Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. The code is not open source; the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0. Files cover 1.20 and 1.20.1, with the latest 1.1.0 published on 2025-03-09.

  4. Skip key and schedules

    Players can skip a tip with a key, an elapsed time bar shows progress, and tips can be scheduled or disabled.
