ColorTooltips

ColorTooltips is a mod that provides custom tooltip styling. It features two main characteristics: highly customizable and buttery smooth.

Integration

This mod no longer requires RarityCore to be installed since version 2.0.

If RarityCore is installed alongside, you can select styles based on an item's RarityCore rarity.

Of course, without RarityCore, you can still select styles based on an item's vanilla rarity.

Buttery Smooth

ColorTooltips' animations never cut corners — every single effect can be toggled and adjusted independently:

  • Fade In/Out — Tooltips appear smoothly and disappear gracefully. Delay and duration are both adjustable. You can also disable it for instant popping.
  • Position Easing — Non-linear transitions when following the mouse. When jumping from the right side to the left, it slides over naturally. Speed multiplier is up to you.
  • Size Transition — Smooth scaling when the tooltip size changes, with no abrupt jumps.
  • Color Flow — Colors along the border and title bar flow continuously. Speed, direction, and enabling/disabling are all up to you.
  • Item Model Animation — Icons scale from a starting size to normal size. Enter and switch animations have independent starting scale values.
  • Switch Glow — When hovering over a different item, a customizable colored light streak travels along the border. Glow color and length are configurable.

Highly Configurable

Everything is configurable, down to every component, every color, and every animation:

  • Freedom of Color — Use rarity theme colors, any hex color of your choice, or fine-tune with brightness and saturation adjustments.
  • Zone-Based Control — Borders, backgrounds, and title bars are configured independently without interfering with each other. Each zone can have its own color list, transparency, flow direction, and speed.
  • Style Selector — Different items and different rarities can automatically match different style files. Common items have one look, rare items have another, and specific items can be individually assigned.
  • Hot Reload — Edit your JSON in-game, type /colortooltips reload, and preview changes instantly — no restart required.

Your first style begins here: Style Configuration Guide.

Preset Styles

Four preset styles are ready to use out of the box: Vanilla (minimal white), VanillaRarity (rarity colors), RarityCoreStyles (RarityCore), and RGB (rainbow gradient).

Functionality

You can hold down Shift and scroll the mouse wheel to move the tooltip up and down, allowing you to view content that extends beyond the screen.

Compatibility

Compatible with SearchCarefully!

Incompatible with mods that modify tooltip styles, but compatible with mods that add content to them.

FAQ

Q: Why do tooltip animations sometimes disappear in certain places? A: This means multiple tooltips are being rendered on screen at the same time. This is a decision made for compatibility reasons.

Q: What happened to my color transition animation? A: Unfortunately, it will part ways with you in version 3.0.

### Fixed

  • Text tooltips on JEI recipe pages could flash and then vanish.** Tooltips drawn by recipe pages themselves (such as the Eterna / Quanta / Arcana values on Apothic Enchanting infusion recipes) are rendered during the recipe draw pass, which conflicted with this mod's shared animation state and the cached-tooltip replay path — the tooltip appeared for a frame and then disappeared. These tooltips are no longer taken over and are now drawn by vanilla. Item tooltips are unaffected.
  • A newly appeared tooltip could be misjudged as "lost" on the same frame.** Closing a screen resets the animation state, after which the loss detection could fire almost immediately and skip the fade-out delay entirely, making the tooltip disappear instantly instead of fading. Tooltips observed in the current frame are no longer treated as lost.
  • Text tooltips could be clipped to nothing.** The scissor rectangle was derived from the animator's in-flight size, which may still belong to a previously hovered tooltip of a different size; content taller or wider than that was cut off. Text tooltips (no item stack) now align to their content size. Item tooltip size easing is unchanged.

### Changed

  • Minimum NeoForge raised to 21.1.238+** (development target 21.1.250, previously 21.1.233). Required by current JEI and Apotheosis builds.



### Fixed

  • Back-ported: a newly appeared tooltip could be misjudged as "lost" on the same frame**, skipping the fade-out delay and vanishing instantly instead of fading. Tooltips observed in the current frame are no longer treated as lost.
  • Back-ported: text tooltips could be clipped to nothing**, because the scissor rectangle used the animator's in-flight size, which could still belong to a differently sized tooltip. Text tooltips now align to their content size; item tooltip size easing is unchanged.

### Changed

  • Removed dead code left over from the style-system refactor: unused policy helpers in TooltipRenderPolicy, the legacy TooltipRenderer overloads and their HSV helpers, the unused ColorFlowAnimator speed field/setters, and the unused MissingRarityScreen.
  • ConfigManager.getLoadWarnings() no longer clears the warning list as a side effect; the consuming behaviour moved to the new consumeLoadWarnings().

bugfix
Possibly fixed an issue with tooltip display anomalies.
Fix raritycore
Fixed compatibility issues.
  • ColorTooltips Ver.3 — Configuration System Completely Refactored**

Everything is configurable, down to every single component and every single animation:

  • Freedom of Color**: You can use the rarity theme color, or any hex color of your choice, with additional brightness and saturation fine-tuning.

  • Zone-Based Control**: Borders, backgrounds, and title bars are configured independently without interfering with each other. Each zone can have its own color list, transparency, flow direction, and speed.

  • Style Selector**: Different items and different rarities can automatically match different style files. Common items look one way, rare items look another, and specific items can be individually assigned.

  • Hot Reload**: Edit your JSON and preview changes instantly — no restart required.

Four preset styles are also included, ready to use out of the box.

  • Other changes:**
  • Fully compatible with multi-tooltip scenarios — no more glitches in Apotheosis GUIs.
  • No longer reminds players to install RarityCore.
  • Side effect**: Color transition animations are dead.

Now uses the latest API of RarityCore to adapt to its newest features and resolve some issues.
ColorTooltips 2.0 - A Complete Refactor

### Independence
RarityCore is no longer a required dependency, but an optional one. You can now use ColorTooltips without installing RarityCore, and all animations will still work (though the visual style will be somewhat reduced)!

However, I still recommend installing RarityCore alongside it!

### Animation
Completely refactored the previously over-coupled animation system. It now uses a "target" + "state" approach to manage animations. Animations now have true full-scene coverage with fewer compatibility issues.

### Compatibility
The tooltip now supports text-only scenarios.

### Feature
Added tooltip offset functionality. While holding an item, you can hold Shift and scroll the mouse wheel to move the tooltip up or down.

### Miscellaneous
  • Added more configuration options for adjusting animation parameters
  • Fixed the tooltip misalignment issue in Apotheosis's reforging table
