Check a Nexo tooltip change without hiding important item state

Applies to: Nexo; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

A cleaner tooltip should still tell players enough to identify and use an item. Test the relevant tooltip component on supported clients before removing all information from valuable equipment.

Check the installed content

Nexo manages custom content through item definitions, resource-pack files and optional mechanics. A correct item identifier does not prove that the client received the matching pack. Follow the documentation for your installed build and keep its generated assets with the source definitions.

Work through the change

1. Record which tooltip lines should remain visible and which should be hidden. Check the component reference for your Minecraft version instead of mixing older item flags with newer tooltip fields.
2. Create a temporary copy of the item and change only its tooltip settings. Keep the original identity, damage and enchantments represented in the comparison inventory.
3. Inspect both items on supported clients and at ordinary interface scales. Check anvils, shops and custom menus that may display their own version of the item information.
4. Test the ordinary player workflow for identifying a damaged, enchanted or restricted item. Confirm that necessary information remains available before adopting the shorter presentation.

Verify the result

The item should show the intended lines consistently and retain its actual server-side behaviour. A hidden tooltip should not be mistaken for removal of the underlying enchantment or component.

If the result differs

If a line remains in one custom menu, inspect that menu output separately. If the component fails to load, review the selected version tab and first configuration warning rather than regenerating unrelated textures.

Keep a recovery path

Restore the earlier tooltip settings and keep the original item definition. Do not replace player items to repair a presentation-only issue until you have confirmed the release-supported update behaviour.
