Everything Descriptions

📖 About:

Inspired by Enchantment Lore from the same developer, Everything Descriptions adds the ability to add a description to... Everything! Blocks, items, and even mobs! Simply press [i] when looking at or holding them, and you'll get a nifty little description come up written by our lovely Discord community!

Designed with the baseline intent to act as a small guide to make players utilise some of Minecraft's more obscure mechanics, Everything Descriptions is set up in such a way that one can add descriptions to any mob, block or item via addition in a lang resource pack!

✅ Features:

• Framework that makes it possible to add a description to everything in the game!
• Currently supports held items, highlighted blocks, and looked at mobs
• Useful descriptions come pre-bundled with the mod
• Add custom descriptions via resource packs!
• Useful for beginners and especially mod and modpack developers
• Perfect to create tutorials for your mod or modpack
• Currently supported on Forge 1.20, 1.19, and 1.18
  
  

🔧 Configuration:

• Hotkey to open descriptions can be set in the Keybinds in-game 
• Descriptions can be added or changed using resource packs
  
  

❓ How to add descriptions:

Simply put... Throw a line like the following into your lang file of choice (It doesn't matter which one:)

"everydesc.[modid]:[block/item/mob]": "Description!"

... And the mod will add an info page on it for anybody to read! If you want your page to have a special background, add a line like the following matching the description line:

"everydesc.[modid]:[block/item/mob].bg": "[modid]/[name].png"

... And you're Gucci!
