Resource Pack Method
Create resource packs with tooltip configurations in assets/tooltips-dlp8/[your-filename].jsonc:
Important: Use different filenames (like civlabs.jsonc, my-server.jsonc, etc.) instead of tooltips.jsonc to avoid conflicts with the mod's built-in tooltips.
{
// Example tooltips for CivLabs classes: You can add comments with // or /* */
"minecraft:diamond_sword": "#e03e2dGuardsman's Weapon#n#resetA sharp blade forged by skilled hands",
"minecraft:golden_apple": "#b96ad9Healer's Blessing#n#resetRestores health and grants temporary effects"
