InfoDataPack
by GoryMoon
InfoDataPack lets a datapack add extra tooltip text to items, shown in the item browser, for players who use it in modpacks.
What it does
Item descriptions are written in datapack files, so modpack makers can attach information to items without a code change. The information appears as a tooltip and in the item browser, which is useful when a pack needs item details to be visible during play. The SNBT format used by the data files can be written or edited with an SNBT Editor, and example datapack structure files are included for reference. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, with 4.0.2.16 as the latest release.
