A functional and aesthetic extension for the Tips mod on Minecraft 1.12.2, adding pause menu support and customizable breathing effects.
⬇ Download on Modrinth✨ Features
- Pause Menu Support: Displays tips when the game is paused. Tips in the pause menu automatically refresh according to the interval you set.
Pause menu tips share the same content and style as the loading screen tips. You can customize them via the config file of the original Tips mod.
- Customizable Animations: Includes a new breathing effect. You can adjust its fade speed and opacity to your liking.
The breathing effect also applies to loading screen tips.
❓ Why This Mod Exists
I originally created this mod solely to enable tips in the pause menu for Minecraft 1.12.2, as this feature was missing in older versions of the Tips mod. Later, I expanded it by adding a customizable breathing effect to enhance the visual experience.
