Frequently asked questions

How do I open the Held Item Tooltips config?
Open the mod list from the pause menu, select Held Item Tooltips, and click the Config button. Most versions also let you reach the same settings screen from the main menu's Mods section.
Why are my tooltips not showing up above the hotbar?
Check that the mod is enabled in your mod loader and that the tooltip display toggle in the config hasn't been turned off. If you're in a GUI or holding nothing, tooltips naturally won't appear.
How do I change which lines appear on the tooltip?
In the config, each line type (enchantments, potion effects, durability, shulker contents, etc.) has its own enable toggle. Turn off the ones you don't want and reorder the rest to control what shows first.
Can I move the tooltip to a different position on screen?
Yes, the config lets you adjust the tooltip's vertical offset so it sits higher or lower above the hotbar. Some versions also expose horizontal alignment options.
