Item Tooltips
by Rebel459
With Item Tooltips installed, hovering an item shows configurable durability, attribute, enchantment and custom description lines in its tooltip.
What it does
The mod adds a set of tooltip features: durability values and bars, a mining speed line for tools that sits alongside the attack lines vanilla already shows, custom item descriptions, and enchantment descriptions. Each feature can be switched on or off individually, and the tooltip wrapping width can be changed as well.
Visual styles are a main focus. Text colors, the color of the durability number, and the durability bar can be set to whatever the player wants, and the durability number itself can follow the vanilla color scheme for consistency. Items can also be excluded from the durability display or from the mining speed line through item tags such as tooltips:hidden, which suits modpack developers who want a tighter list.
Players need the mod to see the tooltips, while a server may skip it. Item Tooltips is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It needs Cloth Config API and Unified API on both loaders, and its files cover 1.21 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.
Key features
Durability display
Shows the current and maximum durability of an item, with a configurable style and color.
Attribute lines
Adds a mining speed line to tools, listed beside the attack damage and attack speed lines that vanilla already shows.
Custom item descriptions
Adds a description to any item by providing a translation key ending in .desc, and the tag tooltips:has description enables it.
Enchantment descriptions
Shows a short explanation of each enchantment within the tooltip.
Tag-based exclusions
Items can be left out of descriptions, the shift notice, or the mining speed line through item tags, so modpacks can tune the list.

How it compares
No Durability is a client and server mod under the MIT License, published for 1.21 – 26.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, so it covers the durability side without the tooltip options. Enchantment Insights is client-side only, open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and built for 1.21.1 – 26.3. Mining Speed Indicators is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, adding a Quilt loader that Item Tooltips does not offer.
