AI Tooltip

AI Tooltip is a simple, polished client-side mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that integrates Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash AI directly into your Minecraft HUD!

Ever look at a strange modded block or entity and wonder what it does? Now you can just press a keybind!

Features

  • Smart Descriptions: Uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to generate a factual, 2-3 sentence description of any Block or Entity you are looking at.
  • Google Web Search Grounding: The AI isn't just guessing; if you enable it, the AI browses the live web to find accurate, up-to-date documentation on obscure modded items before it answers you!
  • Native Tooltip UI: Renders a gorgeous, native-looking tooltip right below your crosshair. It even pulls the exact Item Icon and Mod ID of the block or entity!
  • Hold ALT to Expand: The tooltip defaults to a single, compact summary line so it doesn't clutter your screen. Hold the ALT key to instantly expand the box and read the full paragraph.
  • Optimized & Cached: It only queries the API once per unique block/entity and caches the response in memory, meaning you won't burn through your API quota looking at the same chest twice.

How to Use

  1. Install the Mod: Drop aitooltip into your mods folder.
  2. Launch Minecraft: Launch the game at least once so the mod can generate its configuration file.
  3. Configure your API Key:
    • Go to your Minecraft folder and open config/aitooltip_config.json.
    • Get a free API key from Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com/).
    • Replace "PUT_YOUR_GEMINI_KEY_HERE" with your actual key and save the file.
  4. Toggle the HUD In-Game:
    • Join a world or server.
    • Press M (by default, can be changed in Options > Controls) to toggle the AI Tooltip HUD on or off.
    • Look at something!

Configuration (config/aitooltip_config.json)

{
  "geminiApiKey": "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
  "useWebSearch": true
}
  • geminiApiKey: Your Google Gemini API key.
  • useWebSearch: Set to true (default) to allow the AI to browse the internet for better answers on modded content. Set to false if you want slightly faster, but potentially less accurate, responses.
