MiniTips
by DeTem-Studio
MiniTips shows short hints about game mechanics on screen at the moment a player is likely to need them, so a rule is not forgotten after it was first met.
What it does
Hints appear in the game as small messages tied to the situation, rather than in a separate guide. Pressing H opens or shows the hint display, and pressing J toggles automatic tips on or off, so a player who already knows the mechanics can stop seeing them. Both keys can be changed in the controls menu.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a player can install it in single-player or join a server without it, and the server needs nothing. It is published for Fabric and requires Fabric API. Files exist for 26.2, with 1.0.3 as the latest, released on 2026-07-17 on the beta channel. MiniTips is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Contextual hints
Short tips about game mechanics appear when the situation they describe is happening, instead of only in a manual.
Hint key
Pressing H brings up the hint display, so a tip can be read again without waiting for the next trigger.
Automatic tips toggle
Pressing J turns automatic tips on or off, so experienced players can silence them without removing the mod.
Customizable keybinds
The H and J keys are listed among the controls and can be rebound to other keys.

Use cases
Learning a new mechanic
A player meeting a game rule for the first time gets a hint at the moment it applies, rather than searching for the answer.
Returning after a break
A player who has been away from the game for a while can be reminded of the rules they have forgotten.
Who it’s for: MiniTips suits players who want reminders of game mechanics while they play, and players who return to the game after a long pause. Players who prefer no on-screen text can turn automatic tips off with J.
