About the plugin

Item Tooltips is a plugin that allows for the creation of dynamic item descriptions and item modification in general. Through the use of the tooltip rendering event, an item can be modified using both the procedures of the plugin and already provided procedures by MCreator while the mouse is hovering above it.

This is perfect, precisely what i needed for my mod <3

can you add the old 2024.4 download file back

nvm im dumb

I used this plugin on MCreator 2024.4 and everything worked fine. I recently updated my workspace to MCreator 2026.1, but now I have a problem.

I can create tooltip procedures without any issues, and they are created correctly. However, when I try to attach a tooltip procedure to an item, MCreator won't let me do it and shows a "Missing dependencies" error.

What's strange is that I can attach other procedures to items without any problems. The issue only happens with tooltip procedures.

Is this a bug in the plugin for MCreator 2026.1, or is there something else I should do after updating?

Like the example image shows, you can only use tooltip procedures if you're using the "on tooltip rendered" global trigger.

I'm using the 1.9 version of the plugin, in 2025.3 MCreator, with the 1.21.1 generator that comes with that version. And the plugin is straight up doing nothing. I have it setup, but nothing happens: there's no tooltip on my item, and it is not detecting when I press shift to enable the tooltip either. I tried both versions, but none of them worked. But when I use the exact same "create text with" in the default tooltip thing of MCreator, it renders the text correctly. Could it be a bug?

I've discovered that, if you used "is [provided temstack] = [item]" directly, it renders the tooltip. Which means I don't know what is happening. I don't know why it doesn't work when I use the item tag.

Now I got it. It was a block tag, and not an item tag. That's why it wasn't rendering the tooltip. Please, could you delete my comments? The delete button has gone for me. I can't see it anymore. Otherwise, I would delete them myself.

i don't understand what you mean with the world dependency, or where to find it

Will it work on the new 2026.1 version? I want to use it from the snapshot, but is it possible to just modify the plugin.json number?

@NerdyPuzzle or anyone who can help. If you find the spare time could you please add the world dependency to the 2024.4 version of the plugin. I tried to reverse engineer it myself but couldn't get it to work. If you want you can just explain it, if it's not to complicated that is. I mostly am working on 1.20.1 mods and I can't check for certain things like enchantments on items because it uses the world dependency.

Thanks for such a great plugin!
