ForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.10.2 – 1.12.2

What it does

Item tooltips list the OreDictionary entries that match each item, so a player hovering over an item can read its dictionary names without leaving the inventory screen. The tooltips are green. Advanced tooltips appear only when the advanced view is toggled with F3+H, and the set of entries can be adjusted in the oredicttips.cfg configuration file. The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it. Forge 1.10.2 – 1.12.2 is the supported range, with the latest file, 2.0.2, for 1.12.2, released under the MIT License as open source.
