Prowess
Prowess rewrites the tooltips of vanilla items on Fabric so that equipment stats read as a clean, RPG-style stat sheet.
What it does
On the client, Prowess replaces how item tooltips are drawn. Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Armor, Armor Toughness and Knockback Resistance are listed with icons, and each value is compared against the armor or main-hand item a player already has equipped, marked green for an upgrade and red for a downgrade. Durability is shown as a color-coded bar, and Elytra tooltips give flight estimates for Firework Rocket durations of 1, 2 and 3.
The mod only changes how tooltips look. Damage, armor and other gameplay mechanics stay as they are, and the server does not need to run any logic for it. Prowess works with custom attributes added by other mods, and a simple configuration file controls the presentation. Prowess requires Fabric API. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and 26.1.2, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
