YellowText
YellowText changes the hover color of menu text, buttons and sliders to yellow, matching how older Minecraft releases looked.
What it does
Hovered text in menus turns yellow, covering text buttons and sliders, in the style of earlier releases. The mod changes only that one color and leaves everything else as it is. Installation is a matter of placing the mod folder into the Fabric mods directory, and Fabric API is not needed.
Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers do not. Files target 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
YellowText does one thing, it changes the color of hovered text in buttons and sliders to yellow, like it was before 1.15. Nothing more and nothing less. Just drag it into your mod folder, it does not even need fabric api. A backport to older versions on Fabric is currently in progress. Please contact me if you need…
