Effect Insights adds simple explanations to status effects from potions and food items, so you always know exactly what each one does. Effects on items show their descriptions directly in the tooltip, and the active effects on your player? Just hover over them in your inventory to see what they do. Everything looks neat and consistent, with clean formatting for quick understanding.
Looking for enchantment descriptions too? Check out the wonderful Enchantment Insights mod!

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.
