NoItemTooltips
by ItsDylan
NoItemTooltips turns off the tooltip text that normally appears when a player hovers over an item in Minecraft Java Edition.
What it does
With the mod installed, hovering over an item no longer shows its tooltip, so the inventory, chests and crafting screens stay free of the extra text lines. The change applies only to the display of tooltips, and item names and stack counts are unaffected. The author describes the mod as a minimalist option for players who want a cleaner, distraction-free interface.
The mod is a client-side change, so only the player's own game needs it and a server does not have to install it. Fabric API is required. The current file is version 1.0 for 1.21.4, first published and last updated on 2025-04-22, and it is released under the MIT License, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Tooltips switched off
Item tooltips no longer appear when the cursor rests over an item in any inventory or container screen.
Cleaner item screens
Inventory and container screens show item slots without the extra description lines, which suits players who prefer a plain interface.
Client-only change
Only the client applies the setting, so players can enable the mod without changing anything on a server.

Use cases
Distraction-free play
A player who finds tooltip text cluttering the inventory can hide it and keep the item slots in view.
Hardcore or challenge runs
Players who want to rely on memory rather than on item descriptions can remove the tooltips during a run.
Who it’s for: Players who want a minimalist interface in single-player or on multiplayer servers. Because the mod is client-side, a server owner does not need to install it for players to use it.
