Tooltip Scroller
by harmonly
Tooltip Scroller lets players move through long item tooltips that would otherwise run past the bottom of the screen.
What it does
A tooltip taller than the window is cut off by default. Here, the player hovers over an item and moves its text up or down with a turn of the wheel, or with the paired keys for paging. The tooltip is also kept from running out of the screen, so its text stays within view.
The scroll keys can be changed in the controls settings. The mod is a simple tool with one job, and it does not add items, blocks or new screens. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, and requires Fabric API to be installed alongside it.
Environment: only the client needs the mod, so a player installs it on their own game and servers run without it. The code is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest Fabric build is 1.0 for 1.19.4, released on 2024-06-22.
Key features
Mouse wheel scrolling
Hovering over a tooltip and turning the mouse wheel moves its contents up or down.
Page Up and Page Down
The Page Up and Page Down keys scroll the tooltip as an alternative to the mouse wheel.
Screen-bound tooltips
The tooltip is adjusted so that it does not run out of the screen when an item has a long description.
Configurable keys
The Page Up and Page Down bindings can be set to other keys in the game's controls.

Use cases
Long item descriptions
Items with many lines of text, such as enchanted or modded gear, fit on screen and can still be read in full.
Small windows
Players who run the game in a windowed or small screen size can read tooltips that would otherwise be cut off.
Who it’s for: Players who use Fabric on Minecraft 1.19.2 or 1.19.4 and want to read long tooltips on their own client. Server owners do not need to install anything for it.
