About this project
What does Obscure Tooltips add?
Obscure Tooltips is a client-side visual enhancement mod that transforms ordinary item tooltips into expressive, animated showcases. It adds immersive visual flair to your inventory by introducing smooth animations, dynamic particle effects, and ornamental accent frames that adapt to item rarity and context.


Animated Tooltips
Smooth animations, glowing borders, and subtle particle effects bring every tooltip to life. Styles support a wide range of visual flourishes – from animated ornaments to layered effects – letting every item feel distinct and expressive.

Integrated Models
See any armor piece, tool, or weapon in fully integrated 3D directly inside the tooltip. Preview gear instantly without equipping it or opening extra menus.

Smooth Scrolling
Automatic smooth scrolling activates when a tooltip exceeds screen height, keeping text readable without clutter. It lets you read long descriptions naturally, without resizing your UI.

Line Wrapping
Smart line wrapping keeps wide tooltips clean, readable, and perfectly formatted. Long names, lore, and stats stay aligned and won't spill out of the layout.

Unmatched Customization
Obscure Tooltips was the first mod to introduce fully animated, visually rich tooltips, and while similar mods have appeared since, its modular, data-driven design still offers a uniquely flexible way to build and merge styles, create conditions, and customize every element to fit your vision.

In-Game Config
On Minecraft 1.20.1, in-game configuration menus are available when using Forge Config Screens or Configured. Without these mods, all settings can still be adjusted through config files (config/obscuria/obscure_tooltips-client.toml). Starting with Minecraft 1.21.1, in-game config screens are available out of the box, with no additional dependencies required.

Aquamirae
Aquamirae expands your world with a frozen ocean biome – the Ice Maze above and a haunting Ship Graveyard beneath. Discover its unique ecosystem, progression, ambience, and lore as you uncover the fate of Captain Cornelia and survive the horrors lurking below the ice.
Loot Journal
Loot Journal is a client-side mod that enhances item pickups with smooth, animated notifications, smart stacking, and full visual customization. Track your own and nearby players' pickups in real time, tweak every detail in-game, and enjoy a clean, immersive UI.
Pillager Caravans
Pillager Caravans adds roaming, cargo-filled convoys guarded by pillagers, vindicators, and even ravagers. Instead of static treasure chests, caravans travel across biomes – sometimes near your base – with cargo that changes depending on the environment.
Accents
Accents adds stylish cosmetic accessories that subtly enhance gameplay. A variety of visual accents let you personalize your character without turning cosmetics into mandatory gear.
Ancient Remnants
Scattered across the world are the monuments of a civilization nobody remembers – ancient ruins whose cores still hum with a power no one has ever figured out.
