Ever hovered over a mystery spell scroll in Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and had no idea what it actually does? Irons Spells N Spellbooks Scroll Description Mod solves that annoyance by injecting clear, readable tooltip descriptions into every spell scroll in your inventory. Instead of blindly equipping scrolls to figure out their effects, you can now compare them at a glance and pick exactly the right spell for your build.
Key Features
- Tooltip Spell Descriptions — Every spell scroll from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks now displays its effect directly in the item tooltip, so you know exactly what you're holding before you commit to using it.
- Quick Scroll Comparison — Hovering over multiple scrolls lets you compare their effects side by side, making it far easier to plan your loadout or decide which scrolls to keep.
- No Equip Required — You no longer need to slot a scroll into your spellbook just to identify what it does. This is especially helpful when looting dungeon chests full of unknown scrolls.
- Client-Side Only — The mod works entirely on your interface with no server-side changes needed, making it safe to install on multiplayer servers without requiring the server owner to add anything.
