Potion Descriptions
Important Compatibility Information
The Fabric/Quilt version requires the Cloth Config mod. For the best user experience, we also strongly recommend installing TooltipFix.
What Does This Mod Do?
This small client-side mod was inspired by Darkhax's Enchantment Descriptions project and performs a similar function for potions. When you crouch (this action is configurable), potion tooltips will display descriptions of their effects. Now you won't have to remember what all these status effects do!
Supported Items and Mods
Currently, descriptions are available for any items that use the same NBT structure as vanilla Minecraft potions and suspicious stews (this is configurable). Additionally, there is specific support for some potion-like items from other mods!
Supported Mods for Forge
- Actually Additions (version 1.12.2 only)

- Rustic (version 1.12.2 only)
Supported Mods for Fabric/Quilt

How to Add Descriptions in Your Language?
If you'd like to help with translations or add support for new mods, we'd greatly appreciate your pull requests!
To add a description, you need to insert the following line into the language file:
POTION.description=Description (for version 1.19.2)
description.POTION=Description (for versions before 1.19.2)where POTION is the name of the potion effect. If you're unsure which effects need descriptions, you can enable logging of missing descriptions in the configuration settings.
