Tired of bland, overflowing tooltip boxes cluttering your inventory screen? Simply Tooltips Mod hands you full creative control over how item tooltips look and behave in Minecraft. Built on a data-driven theme system, it lets you design custom tooltip styles for vanilla and modded items alike — and ships with ready-made themes for popular Simply-series mods so you can get started immediately.
Key Features
- Fully custom tooltip themes — Design your own tooltip layouts and color schemes using a flexible, data-driven system that works for both vanilla and modded items.
- Pre-made themes included — Out of the box, Simply Tooltips ships with polished themes for Simply Swords, Simply Bows, and other mods in the Simply family.
- Scrollable tooltips — Long, text-heavy tooltips no longer eat up your entire screen. Scroll through the content instead of squinting at a wall of text.
- Tabbed information — Split tooltip data across multiple tabs and cycle between them with a hotkey, keeping things organized without losing detail.
- Modpack-friendly — Easy to configure and extend for modded items, and appears to be lightweight enough to run in larger modpacks without heavy overhead.

FAQ
Does Simply Tooltips work with modded items?
Yes. The mod uses a data-driven theme system specifically designed to support both vanilla and modded items. You can create custom tooltip themes for any item in your modpack.
