Tag Tooltips Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see tags in my tooltips?
Hold down the semicolon key (;) by default while hovering over an item or block to reveal its tags in the tooltip. You can change this key in the mod's configuration settings if semicolon doesn't work for your keyboard layout.
What's the difference between item tags and block tags?
Item tags classify items (like tools, materials, or mod-specific categories), while block tags classify blocks in the world. Both appear in the same tooltip when you hold the toggle key, helping you understand how the game or modpack categorizes things.
Can I change which key toggles the tags?
Yes, open the mod's configuration file and change the toggle key setting from the default semicolon (;) to any key you prefer. Restart the game for the change to take effect.
Why would I need to see tags?
Tags are essential for debugging modpack recipes, understanding item compatibility with machines, and learning how mods classify items. If a recipe isn't working, checking tags helps you verify you're using the correct item variant.
Do tags show up in creative mode only?
No, Tag Tooltips works in both survival and creative mode, so you can check tags while playing normally or while building and testing.
Will this mod slow down my game?
Tag Tooltips has minimal performance impact since it only loads tag data when you actively hold the toggle key. It doesn't affect gameplay speed or FPS.
Can I see tags for items in my inventory without hovering?
No, you must hover over an item and hold the toggle key to see its tags. The mod only displays tags in tooltips, not as a separate interface.
Does this mod work with other mods that add custom tags?
Yes, Tag Tooltips displays all tags from any mod, including custom tags added by other mods in your modpack. This makes it especially useful for debugging complex modpack setups.
What if the toggle key doesn't work on my keyboard?
Some keyboards or layouts don't have a semicolon key in the expected position. Open the mod config and rebind the toggle key to something more accessible, like a number key or letter.
Can I see tags for blocks I'm looking at in the world?
Yes, hold the toggle key while hovering over a block's tooltip (when you look at it) to see its block tags. This works the same way as viewing item tags.
