Types of tooltips

Item tooltips

When hovering over an Minecraft:item with the cursor while in the Minecraft:inventory or a Minecraft:container screen, a tooltip with the item’s name appears next to the cursor. When playing with touch controls, tapping an item displays its tooltip on the bottom of the screen. Some items display extra information on their tooltips, such as Minecraft:enchantments and Minecraft:shulker box contents. Template:IN, basic item tooltips are also visible in the "Items" section of the Minecraft:statistics menu when hovering over a block or item on the left side of the screen.

Template:IN, advanced tooltips, including item IDs and the exact remaining Minecraft:durability of tools, can be displayed by pressing the Minecraft:debug hotkey Template:Key.
