Food Effect Tooltips [Fabric / NeoForge] Mod (26.1.1, 1.20.6)

Food Effect Tooltips is a client-side tooltip mod that shows status-effect information for food and other consumables for Minecraft Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt.

Food items in Minecraft often hide the most important part of the item: what happens after you eat it. That creates guesswork, especially when a pack adds unfamiliar meals, suspicious stew variants, or consumables with side effects. Food Effect Tooltips solves that by surfacing the missing information right in the item tooltip, and its 1.46 million+ Modrinth downloads suggest a lot of players wanted exactly this kind of clarity.

Key Features of Food Effect Tooltips

• Fully client side — You do not need to turn it into a server-side dependency just to read tooltips. That makes it a practical add-on for single-player, multiplayer, and modded pack setups where you only want better item information on your end.
• Chance-based effects are shown clearly — Some consumables only apply a status effect some of the time, which is the sort of detail players usually learn the hard way. This mod surfaces that chance in the tooltip so you can judge risk before you eat.
• Stat change information is included — The tooltip does not just name effects; it also shows the stat changes tied to them. That matters when you are trying to compare food choices instead of treating every meal as a blind gamble.
• Plays nicely with other food info mods — It is listed as compatible with mods that already show food information, including AppleSkin. That is useful because you do not have to choose between hunger tracking and effect visibility if you like a fuller food UI.
• Covers more than basic edible items — The mod also reports effect-related behavior on consumables that clear status effects, teleport the player, or apply effects on death. In practice, that means items like milk, chorus fruit, mushroom stew, and Totems of Undying are less mysterious when you hover them.
• Reads item component data directly — The mod parses hovered item components and builds the tooltip from the underlying data. As of the current feature set it handles consume_component, apply_effects, remove_effects, clear_all_effects, teleport_randomly, death_protection, and suspicious_stew_effects, which gives it broad coverage across vanilla-style consumable behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Food Effect Tooltips client side?

Yes — it is fully client side, so you install it for your game client rather than treating it like a server requirement. That makes it easy to add to a personal pack when all you want is clearer item information.

Does it show chance-based status effects?

Yes — it handles effects that only apply with a percentage chance. That is one of the biggest reasons to use it, because chance-based food is otherwise hard to evaluate at a glance.

Does Food Effect Tooltips work with AppleSkin?

Yes — it is compatible with other mods that display food information, including AppleSkin. In practice, that means you can keep AppleSkin for hunger-related context and still get effect tooltips here.

Does it show items like milk, chorus fruit, and Totems of Undying?

Yes — it also lists effects for consumables that remove status effects, teleport the player, or apply effects on death. That includes items such as milk, chorus fruit, mushroom stew, and Totems of Undying.

Which loaders are supported?

Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt are supported. The download table includes loader-specific builds, so you should grab the jar that matches the loader you actually use.

What Minecraft versions are available?

Many versions are available, from 1.17.1 up through 26.1.1. The supported builds listed in the data include 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.8, 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3, 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6, 1.20.4, 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.4, 1.19.3, 1.19.2, and 1.18.2 as well.

How does the mod know what to display?

It reads the hovered item's components and parses the data into tooltip text. That approach is what lets it handle several different effect-related component types instead of only covering one narrow item category.
