Don’t Hide The Tooltip Mod (1.21.6, 1.20.6) – Always Shows Item Tooltips

Don’t Hide The Tooltip Mod (1.21.6, 1.20.6) is a lightweight client-side enhancement that improves the inventory experience in Minecraft. Normally, when you pick up an item with your cursor, Minecraft hides the tooltips of any other items you hover over forcing you to release the held item to view their names or details. This mod eliminates that restriction.

With this mod installed, tooltips remain visible even while you’re holding an item, as long as there’s another item beneath your cursor. It’s a simple yet highly useful tweak that improves inventory navigation, especially when comparing or managing items quickly.

Features:

Always-On Tooltips – See item names and details even when holding another item.
No More Guesswork – Hover over any item while holding one and still get full tooltip visibility.
Client-Side Only – Doesn’t affect server behavior or gameplay; works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Perfect for Modded Inventories – Great when using mods with custom inventories, tooltips, or complex item icons.
Fabric Compatible – Built for Fabric; works seamlessly with most UI/tooltip-related mods.
