Manually adding Tool tooltips / descriptions

I know that adding tool descriptions is a feature that might get added in the future but I was wondering if there is a current up-to-date way to manually add tool descriptions in the code. I saw a method from 2017 but it's giving me compiling errors. Any images would be insanely helpful as well.

you can already add them, and it supports minecraft color code too.

You can see there's no description area like there is for standard items.

Try blocking hte mod element so mcreator don't revert it then add this imports there is no need to do so if they are already there

----------------------------------------------

          import net.minecraft.world.World;
          import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
          import net.minecraft.client.util.ITooltipFlag;

import java.util.List;

----------------------------------------------

then add the following lines
----------------------------------------------

           @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
           @Override
           public void addInformation(ItemStack itemstack, World world, List<String> list, ITooltipFlag flag) {
           super.addInformation(itemstack, world, list, flag);
           list.add("YOUR TEXT HERE");
