Tips Extension
by MFn
Tips Extension adds a pause menu that displays Tips mod messages while the game is paused on Minecraft 1.12.2.
What it does
The mod shows tips in the pause menu, with content in the same style as the tips on the loading screen. The pause menu tips refresh automatically at an interval the player sets. A breathing effect, added in a later release, applies to the loading screen tips as well. Opacity and fade speed can be adjusted, and the original Tips mod is configured through its config file. The mod runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2, with 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-04-05, under the MIT License and open source.
