Welcome to the wiki for Item Descriptions! This mod adds unique descriptions to all vanilla blocks, items, entities, and tags, alongside support for modded items through tag descriptions and resource packs.
While the focus of the main mod is content in vanilla Minecraft and the 1.21+ common tags, it can be easily expanded to add more descriptions to modded blocks, or get started with custom descriptions, this is where to be!
Resource Packs
- Mod Descriptions adds support for various mods.
- No Descriptions removes all built-in descriptions.
Mod Developers

Modpack Developers
If you have mods that you want to support Item Descriptions, you can either make your own custom resource pack with Item Descriptions translations, or contribute them to Mod Descriptions as a Pull Request, which is focused on providing descriptions for as many mods as possible.
Built-in Item Descriptions can also be overridden by resource packs, if you want to add custom content for your modpack. If you want to start from a blank slate, try out the No Descriptions resource pack, which removes all built-in descriptions.
