Minecraft:Tooltip

An example of an item tooltip with enchantments and attributes Template:In

A tooltip contains information that appears when hovering over or focusing on Minecraft:items or certain UI elements.

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 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.

Some information that is visible on tooltips is also shown above the hotbar on the Minecraft:HUD when selecting the item.
