Scrollable Tooltips Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I scroll through a tooltip that's too long to read?
Hover your mouse over an item to open its tooltip, then use your mouse wheel to scroll up and down through the description. If the tooltip extends horizontally, hold Shift while scrolling to move left and right instead.
Why can't I see all the stats on my server item?
Long tooltips on customized servers often extend beyond your screen. Use the scroll feature (mouse wheel) to reveal hidden information below—the mod prevents text from being cut off by letting you scroll through the entire description.
Does this mod work with enchanted items?
Yes, you can scroll through enchantment lists and ability descriptions on enchanted items just like any other tooltip. This is especially useful for items with many enchantments or custom effects.
Can I scroll tooltips horizontally?
Yes, hold Shift while using your mouse wheel to scroll left and right through tooltips that are too wide for your screen.
Do I need to configure anything to use this mod?
No, the mod works automatically once installed—just hover over items and scroll. There are no required settings or commands to use the basic scrolling feature.
Will this mod slow down my game?
Scrollable Tooltips has minimal performance impact since it only affects how tooltips are displayed when you hover over items, not gameplay itself.
Does this work on vanilla servers or only custom ones?
The mod works on all servers and single-player worlds, though it's most useful on customized servers like Hypixel where items have complex, lengthy descriptions.
What if a tooltip is still too small to read even after scrolling?
The mod handles scrolling but doesn't change text size—if text is too small, that's a separate display setting in your Minecraft client options, not something this mod controls.
Can I scroll tooltips that appear in my inventory?
Yes, the scrolling feature works on any tooltip that appears when you hover over an item, whether in your inventory, a chest, or anywhere else.
Does this mod conflict with other mods that modify tooltips?
Scrollable Tooltips is generally compatible with other mods, but if you experience tooltip display issues, try disabling other tooltip-modifying mods to identify conflicts.
