This mod adds unique descriptions for all blocks, items, enchantments, effects, and mobs - built in a way that makes it easy to add modded content.
This mod adds a unique description to all blocks, items, and entities that is displayed when pressing the Ctrl key. These descriptions sum up what it can be used for, its source, and/or any other useful info. It strikes a compromise between not knowing anything about an item and constantly checking the Minecraft Wiki for detailed in-depth descriptions.
Item Descriptions includes all vanilla blocks and items. For mod support, also add Mod Descriptions!
By default, holding down Ctrl when hovering over an item will show a short description of what it can do. Unique descriptions have been written for every item, and generic descriptions are also supported for various tags so many modded blocks come with built-in descriptions.
If you have Jade or WTHIT installed, blocks and entities will also show descriptions when Ctrl is held.
Item Descriptions supports descriptions for enchantments as well, with descriptions for every vanilla enchantments included. Item Descriptions prefers its own descriptions, but will support mods that support Enchantment Descriptions out of the box.
Enchantment Descriptions are also shown in the Enchanting Table, including Quark's Matrix Enchanting Table and Penchant's reworked Enchanting Table.

To add or replace a description for a block or item, just add the following entry to your mod or resource pack's language file.
"lore.<namespace>.<your_item_here>": "A mysterious modded block."
