Item Tips
Shows helpful UI tips about items when you are in proximity to them. This included coolness, curse, synergies, and a short description.
Adds extended description to the ammonomicon entry for the item.
Additional features:
- load tips from external files
- cooldown counter for active items
There is an in-game configuration section under Mod Config > ItemTips.
External tip files
External tip files are json formatted files. The ItemTips will search all mod folders for files matching the pattern "itemtips-*.tip".
The format of the files:
{
// note metadata is optional.
"metadata": {
"name": "My Item Tips",
"url": "url to find updates",
"version": "1.0.0"
},
"items": {
// Key is the console name used in the mtg api console.
"prefix:item_name": {
"name": "Item Name", // item name is optional.
"notes": "A description of the item."
}
},
"synergies": {
// Key is the AdvancedSynergyEntry.NameKey of the synergy.
"Synergy Name": {
"notes": "A description of the synergy."
}
}
}
The console command itemtips generate will generate a sample file for all loaded items and synergies. To show only items for
a specific prefix use itemtips generate my_prefix.
To load external files, either include tip files in a mod or set the "External Data Path" configuration value for the ItemTips mod
to a directory to load from.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
