Pin Tooltips: Freezing and Reading Floating Inspect Windows

A Pin Tooltips guide. Covers Pin Tooltips 2.2.0+neoforge on Minecraft 1.21.1.

Pin Tooltips lets players lock floating item information windows directly in place on the interface to examine detailed attributes without losing cursor focus. Hovering a cursor over an equipped item or storage slot displays standard tags, but pressing the designated ALT key or the configured Pin Tooltip binding freezes the panel in screen space.

Once an inspect card is pinned, moving the mouse away leaves the frame stationary. This allows players to read extended descriptions of modifiers that vanilla tooltips compress. For defensive gear, the mod spells out specific properties, explaining enchantments with tags like "Moderate damage resistance to most sources", "High resistance to explosions and fireworks", or "High protection against projectile attacks". Utility gear also benefits from expanded readouts such as "Improved underwater breathing time and vision" or "Enhanced movement speed while sneaking".

Managing and clearing inspect frames

Multiple pinned frames can be positioned side by side to compare enchantments or potion mechanics directly. When finished examining gear stats, clicking the prompt reading "Middle Button to unpin" dismisses the selected window immediately. Combining the ALT key with middle click executes the shortcut to unpin all active tooltips from the HUD simultaneously. All pinned windows are temporary and automatically clear upon closing the interface or leaving the current session.
