Smooth animations, glowing borders, and subtle particle effects bring every tooltip to life. Styles support a wide range of visual flourishes – from animated ornaments to layered effects – letting every item feel distinct and expressive.
See any armor piece, tool, or weapon in fully integrated 3D directly inside the tooltip. Preview gear instantly without equipping it or opening extra menus.
Automatic smooth scrolling activates when a tooltip exceeds screen height, keeping text readable without clutter. It lets you read long descriptions naturally, without resizing your UI.
Smart line wrapping keeps wide tooltips clean, readable, and perfectly formatted. Long names, lore, and stats stay aligned and won't spill out of the layout.
Obscure Tooltips was the first mod to
introduce fully animated, visually rich tooltips, and while similar mods have appeared since, its modular, data-driven
design still offers a uniquely flexible way
to build
and merge styles,
create conditions,
and customize every element to fit your vision.
On Minecraft 1.20.1, in-game configuration menus are available when using Forge Config Screens or Configured. Without these mods, all settings can still be adjusted through config files (config/obscuria/obscure_tooltips-client.toml). Starting with Minecraft 1.21.1, in-game config screens are available out of the box, with no additional dependencies required.
