Jade Mod FAQ

20 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the Jade config menu in-game?
Open the mod list from the pause menu, select Jade, and click the config button to reach its settings screen. You can also bind a key in the controls menu to toggle Jade's overlay on and off while playing.
Why aren't tooltips showing up when I look at blocks?
Jade only shows info for the block or entity you're actually pointing at, so make sure your crosshair is on the target and you're close enough. If nothing appears at all, check that the overlay isn't toggled off via its keybind or disabled in the config.
How do I make Jade show chest contents without opening the chest?
Just aim your crosshair at the chest and Jade's tooltip will list the items inside automatically. This works for any block with an inventory, like hoppers, barrels, and other containers.
How do I turn off specific tooltip lines I don't care about?
In the Jade config, each provider (like item handlers, mob effects, or horse stats) can be toggled on or off individually. Disable the ones you don't want and the tooltip will only show the remaining info.
Can I move or reposition the Jade tooltip on my screen?
Yes, the config lets you change the overlay's anchor position and offset so it appears where you prefer. You can also adjust its scale and background transparency to make it less intrusive.
How do I see a mob's active potion effects with Jade?
Simply look at the mob and Jade will display its current effects in the tooltip. This works for both mobs and other players, so you can tell at a glance what buffs or debuffs are active.
How do I check horse stats like speed and jump height?
Point your crosshair at the horse and Jade shows its stats in the tooltip, including health, speed, and jump strength. You can compare horses this way before deciding which one to tame or breed.
Does Jade work with other mods' blocks and entities?
Jade reads data through standard interfaces, so most modded blocks and mobs that expose their info will show tooltips automatically. Some mods also ship their own Jade plugins to add extra info.
Will Jade hurt my game's performance or FPS?
Jade is lightweight and only gathers info for the single target you're looking at, so the performance impact is minimal. If you notice lag, try disabling providers you don't use or lowering the tooltip update rate in the config.
How do I hide the mod names that appear in the tooltip?
Jade has a config option to hide mod names, which removes the source-mod label from the tooltip. Enable that setting if you want a cleaner look without the extra text.
How do I use the Jade Mod?
Just look at a block, mob, or item and a tooltip appears automatically near your crosshair. No key press is needed for basic use, though you can hold the configurable modifier key to show extra details or hide the tooltip temporarily.
How do I enable Jade Mod?
Jade is enabled by default once installed, so if you see no tooltips, check that the mod is actually loaded and that the tooltip display isn't toggled off in its config. You can open the in-game Jade config screen to turn display back on and adjust what information is shown.
How do I open the jade config menu?
Open the mod list or the Jade settings entry from your mod menu, then click the config button to reach the in-game options screen. From there you can toggle individual tooltip categories like item handlers, mob effects, and breaking progress.
What does the Jade Mod do in Minecraft?
Jade adds an information tooltip that appears when you look at blocks, mobs, and items, showing things like container contents, block-breaking progress, mob effects, entity growth, horse stats, and item frame contents. It's a quality-of-life mod that surfaces information you'd otherwise have to guess or dig through menus for.
How do I see what's inside a chest with jade?
Simply look at the chest and the tooltip will list its contents, including item names and stack counts, without you having to open it. This works for most blocks that store items, such as hoppers, barrels, and other inventories.
How do I see mob effects with jade?
Aim your crosshair at a mob or player and the tooltip will show any active potion effects on them. If effects aren't appearing, make sure the mob effects category is enabled in the Jade config.
Can jade show horse stats?
Yes, looking at a horse displays its statistics such as speed, jump strength, and health in the tooltip. This is useful for comparing horses before you commit to breeding or taming one.
Why are my jade tooltips not showing?
Common causes are the mod not being loaded, the tooltip display being disabled in config, or a conflicting mod overriding the tooltip. Check the Jade config screen first, then look for other tooltip or HUD mods that might be interfering.
How do I hide the jade tooltip when I don't want it?
You can bind a key in the controls menu to toggle the tooltip on and off, or hold the configured modifier key to temporarily suppress it. The exact key is set by you in the key bindings, so pick something that doesn't clash with your other mods.
Does jade work on Minecraft Bedrock or pe?
Jade is a Java Edition mod, so it does not run on Bedrock, Pocket Edition, or console versions of Minecraft. If you're on Bedrock, you'll need a different tooltip solution made for that edition.
