SimpleScrollToolTips
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.
