Turning Extra Item Details On or Off in Held Item Info
guide
Held Item Info adds optional readouts to item tooltips, and each of those readouts can be switched on or off independently. This guide covers the toggles for fireworks, command blocks, beehives, crossbows, lore, paintings, goat horns, books, banners, buckets, and the counter for hidden lines, along with the limits that control how much text appears.
Where the Options Live
All of these settings belong to the Held Item Info Config screen. Open it through the mod's interface or the corresponding hotkey (set it in the controls menu). Every entry below is a toggle or a numeric field inside that config.
Content Toggles
- showFireworkAttributes — displays the attributes of a firework rocket.
- showCommandBlockInfo — displays the command stored in a command block.
- showBeehiveContent — displays what a beehive or bee nest contains.
- showCrossbowProjectiles — displays the projectiles loaded in a crossbow.
- showPaintingDescription — displays information about a painting.
- showGoatHornInstrument — displays which instrument a goat horn plays.
- showBookMeta — displays a book's author and generation.
- showBannerPatternName — displays the name of a banner pattern. This one applies only to Banner Pattern items, not to actual banners.
- showEntityBucketContent — displays which type of entity is inside a bucket.
- showHiddenLinesCount — displays how many extra lines exist.
Turn any of these on to see that information, or off to suppress it.
Limiting How Much Text Shows
Several fields cap the amount of content drawn:
- maxLines — the greatest number of lines shown, counting the item name itself.
- maxLoreLines — the greatest number of lore lines shown.
- maxCommandLines — the greatest number of lines of a command block's command shown.
- maxLines also has a companion setting for roughly how many characters fit per line; that character limit applies only to lore and command blocks.
Layout and Fading
These control appearance rather than content:
- respectHideFlags — when enabled, only information that component properties have not hidden is shown.
- The line height setting controls how tall each line is, in pixels.
- offsetPerExtraLine — how far, in pixels, all the text shifts vertically for each additional line. By default this pulls the tooltip nearer the hotbar as more lines appear.
- A separate setting controls the gap between the item name and the line beneath it.
- baseFadeDuration — how many seconds a single-line tooltip takes to disappear.
- fadeDurationPerExtraLine — extra time added before fading for each additional line.
Containers and Enchantments
- mergeSimilarContainerItems — combines similar items when shown in containers.
- enchantments — the enchantment filter list.
- showOnlyFilteredEnchantments — set this to Yes to display only the enchantments in the list below, or to No to display everything except those enchantments.
- filteredEnchantments — the list itself. Enter IDs here, such as `minecraft:silk_touch` rather than the display name. If you have trouble locating the text fields, press TAB a few times.
Quick Reference
- Want firework, command block, beehive, crossbow, painting, goat horn, book, banner pattern, or bucket details? Use the matching show... toggle.
- Want to know how many lines were trimmed? Enable showHiddenLinesCount.
- Want fewer lines overall? Lower maxLines, maxLoreLines, or maxCommandLines.
- Want hidden data kept hidden? Leave respectHideFlags on.
