Potion Descriptions [Neo/Forge]

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

This is a port and rewrite of Potion Descriptions by Azmalent

This little client side mod was greatly inspired by Enchantment Descriptions by Darkhax and does a similar thing for potions. When you are sneaking (configurable), potion tooltips will display effect descriptions. No more forgetting what all these status effects do!

You can get support in the Discord !

Potion Descriptions [Neo/Forge] — Minecraft Java mod, screenshot 1

Currently, descriptions are available for any items that use the same NBT structure as vanilla potions , but there is explicit support for some potion-like items from other mods! See below for the full list.

If you want to contribute to this list or add localization for your language, pull requests are highly appreciated! ;)

To add a description, you need to insert the following line to the language file:

"effect.modid.potion_name.description": "Whatever the potion does"
