Vanilla Tooltips

Vanilla Tooltips is a lightweight, client-side cosmetic mod that enhances item tooltips while keeping Minecraft’s familiar visual style.

It adds animated item previews, rarity styling, and a 3D armor preview. Customize their appearance, colors, layout, and animations, or turn visual features off individually.

Features

• Animated item previews with adjustable size and animation speed
• Customizable item preview frames and backgrounds, with standard, rarity-based, and custom color modes
• Options to hide the item preview frame or its background
• Rarity labels and tooltip outlines that can be enabled or disabled and use standard, rarity-based, or custom colors
• Separate colors for each rarity when using rarity-based styling
• 3D armor previews with adjustable size, position, armor stand opacity, and rotation speed and direction
• Optional armor preview separation from the item and its stats, with Line and Window styles, or no divider
• Independent settings for each visual feature
