Data Tip Mod adds custom visual tooltips to items using simple JSON files in resource packs. It lets you display extra text, progress bars, 3D models, and live stats without writing any Java code. You can customize tooltip colors, set up multi-language text, or hide extra details behind a key press.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I put my JSON files for tooltips?
Create a folder path `assets/ /datatip/` inside your resource pack, then place your `datatip.json` file there. The namespace can be any name you choose—it doesn't have to match a mod ID.
How do I match an item in my tooltip definition?
Use the `match` field with an exact item ID like `minecraft:diamond_sword`, an item tag like `#minecraft:planks`, or a wildcard pattern like `minecraft:*_ore` to match multiple items at once.
Can I show different tooltip text based on the player's location or status?
Yes, use the `conditions` field to check biome, dimension, weather, hunger level, NBT data, and more—tooltip lines only display when all their conditions are met.
How do I display a 3D model or block preview inside a tooltip?
Add a `model` component to your tooltip definition and specify the model path; you can rotate it and customize its size and position within the hover box.
