Tag Tooltips
by J4gm
Tag Tooltips lets a player hold a key to see the item tags of the item in hand, across block, entity type, fluid, enchantment and POI type tags.
What it does
Tag Tooltips adds a keybind that shows the tags of an item in its tooltip, so a player can check which tag groups an item belongs to without leaving the game. The tags are shown from every mod namespace, not only vanilla. Block tags, entity type tags, fluid tags, enchantment tags and point of interest type tags each appear where they apply, for example entity type tags on a spawn egg, fluid tags on a bucket, enchantment tags on an enchanted book, and POI type tags on a villager workstation or beehive.
Modders and pack creators can use it to confirm that a tag is applied to the right items. It works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, with the 1.3.1 file as the latest build on each loader.
Tag Tooltips is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. The code is not open source, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, which governs distribution. The source code and issue tracker are public.

A keybind opens the tags of the held or hovered item in its tooltip, without any command or menu.
Tags from all namespaces
Tags from every installed mod are listed, so tags added by other mods can be checked alongside vanilla ones.
Typed tag groups
Block, entity type, fluid, enchantment and POI type tags are each shown on the items they apply to.
Sorting and debugging aid
The listed tags help designers build tag-based sorting systems and help pack creators find where a tag is missing.

How it compares
Tag Stacker is open source and runs on both sides, for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License. DebugUtils is open source and runs on client and server for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, across 1.18.2 – 26.3. Tag Tooltips is client-side only and is not open source, so it needs no server install.
