SimpleScrollToolTips

by Partacus-SPQR

SimpleScrollToolTips lets players pan item tooltips with the mouse wheel when a tooltip is taller or wider than the screen.

What it does

Item tooltips in containers are positioned by the game's default tooltip positioner, which clamps oversized tooltips to the screen edge, so the lines past that edge are lost. After the clamp, the mod shifts the tooltip's position, which lets hidden lines be scrolled into view. Scrolling only acts while the cursor hovers an item tooltip, so the rest of the screen behaves as usual. A heavily enchanted item or a stat-heavy item from a modpack such as SkyBlock is the typical case it addresses.

Scrolling is controlled by the mouse wheel for vertical movement and by Shift with the wheel for horizontal movement. Arrow keys also scroll, and their bindings can be changed under the Options Controls menu. Sensitivity can be adjusted, and each axis can be inverted separately. The scroll position resets when the cursor moves to a different item. Settings are reachable through a Mod Menu configuration screen.

The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and a server's own stat-heavy items still work when a player has it installed. It is built on Fabric and requires Fabric API. Files cover 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2 for Fabric, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Scrollable oversized tooltips

    Tooltips taller or wider than the screen can be panned with the mouse wheel to read the parts that run off screen.

  2. Horizontal scrolling with Shift

    Holding Shift while using the mouse wheel moves a tooltip sideways, for wide lines.

  3. Rebindable arrow keys

    Arrow keys scroll the tooltip, and their key bindings can be changed in the Controls options.

  4. Adjustable sensitivity and inversion

    Scroll speed can be tuned, and each axis can be inverted independently.

  5. Auto-reset on new item

    The scroll position returns to the top when the cursor hovers a different item.

Questions

Does SimpleScrollToolTips need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on a Fabric client.

Does a server need to install SimpleScrollToolTips?

No. The mod is client-side only, so it works on a server that does not run it.

Can the scroll keys be changed?

Yes. The arrow-key bindings can be rebound under the Options Controls menu, and the mod's own settings are reachable through Mod Menu.

Ever hovered an item with so many enchantments and stats that its tooltip spills past the top and bottom of the screen? Vanilla just clamps it to the edge and the rest is lost.
