About this project
What does Tooltips improved add?
Tooltips Improved makes Minecraft tooltips easier to read and more useful.
Client-side only, with no required dependencies. Fabric API is not needed.
New in 0.2.0
Exact durability
See how many uses an item has left.

Equipment comparison
See how armor, weapons and tools compare to what you have equipped. Enchantments aren't compared yet.

Content previews
See what's in an item without opening it: a book's first page, a map, a banner or shield pattern, or a firework's explosions.

Also included
Scrolling
Move tooltips that run off the screen with the mouse wheel or <kbd>Page Up</kbd>/<kbd>Page Down</kbd>. Hold <kbd>Left Alt</kbd> to move them sideways. Scrollable lists keep working as usual.

Text wrapping
Long lines wrap to fit beside your cursor, on the screen, at half the screen width, or at a width you choose. Colors are kept.

Smarter placement
A tooltip that doesn't fit beside the cursor moves above, below or to a corner, so it doesn't cover what you're hovering. Very tall tooltips show their top first.
Shorter armor trims
Three lines become one, like Sentry Armor Trim (Iron). Hold <kbd>Shift</kbd> to see the full lines.

Custom look
Make the background see-through and remove the gap under an item's name.

Setup
