Why use Tooltip Scroll Mod?

Many modded items come with long tooltips often overflowing the screen, overlapping GUI elements, or hiding important information. Tooltip Scroll Mod adds an elegant, user-friendly solution by letting you scroll through and reposition tooltips using simple keyboard input.

Ideal for:

  • Players using heavy modpacks with detailed item data
  • Accessibility improvements (larger font tooltips, lower resolution screens)
  • Technical or builder players who work with long NBT info or enchantment lists

It’s the kind of quality-of-life enhancement that once installed, you won’t want to play without.
