TFC Ore Tooltips
by Grimm147
TFC Ore Tooltips adds geological details to ore item tooltips in TerraFirmaCraft, showing which rock types an ore can generate in and under what conditions.
What it does
Hovering over an ore item shows the rock types that ore can spawn in, using the official TerraFirmaCraft rock names. The tooltip also lists the height range and other typical generation conditions, so a player can judge where to search before leaving the base.
When a player is standing on a rock that matches one of the listed types, the matching entry is highlighted in green. This makes it quick to check whether the ore under the feet is one the player is looking for. The player still has to explore to find the right place, since the addon only supplies the information.
The addon touches only tooltips. It does not change world generation or the game balance of TerraFirmaCraft. Localization is supported for the languages the TerraFirmaCraft mod ships with. TFC Ore Tooltips is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, and it is not open source.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players of TerraFirmaCraft on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want geological information on ore items. Since the mod runs only on the client, players can add it without asking server owners to install anything.
How it compares
Create TFC Unofficial Port is a NeoForge 1.21.1 mod that runs on client and server and is under the ISC License, so it is not open source. TFC Support Indicator covers Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, is client-side only, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. TFC Ore Tooltips shares the client-side environment and the 1.21.1 target with those mods, but its MIT License differs from both.
