Styling Tooltips with Obscure Tooltips

Obscure Tooltips changes how item tooltips look in Minecraft. Instead of the plain default box, tooltips can use custom styling and even display 3D item models, making rare or special items stand out at a glance.

The key feature is resource pack support. Styles are not hardcoded into the mod; you define them through a resource pack, which means you can add as many custom tooltip styles as you want. This lets you tie a distinct look to a specific rarity tier or item type, so players can recognize importance without reading every line of text.

Because everything is driven by resource packs, the mod stays flexible: you can restyle tooltips for a modpack, a server, or a personal setup without touching the mod itself. If you only want the default appearance, no configuration is required. If you want custom styles, you provide them through your pack. The result is tooltips that carry visual meaning rather than being purely functional text.
