Coloured Categories

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.19–1.19.4Newest
Minecraft 1.18–1.18.2
Minecraft 1.12.2

⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.4 ⬇ Download for 1.18–1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.12.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

One colourway for all tooltips is kinda lame.

Especially for modpacks meant for cool features!

Insert Coloured Categories. A way for modpack makers to apply their pack colourway to their tooltips! This mod depends on nothing for default functionality! Just a config file :) However it does have support for KubeJS and CraftTweaker!
Credits: Just link to this project page and send me a message, its motivating to know people are actually using the mod :)

Every launch, new colours. By default, it randomly colours all parts of the tooltip for all items. It computes on the fly, and caches it.
