# AI Tooltip<\/p>\n
**AI Tooltip** is a simple, polished client-side mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that integrates Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash AI directly into your Minecraft HUD!<\/p>\n
Ever look at a strange modded block or entity and wonder what it does? Now you can just press a keybind!<\/p>\n
### Features
\n* **Smart Descriptions:** Uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to generate a factual, 2-3 sentence description of any Block or Entity you are looking at.
\n* **Google Web Search Grounding:** The AI isn’t just guessing; if you enable it, the AI browses the live web to find accurate, up-to-date documentation on obscure modded items before it answers you!
\n* **Native Tooltip UI:** Renders a gorgeous, native-looking tooltip right below your crosshair. It even pulls the exact Item Icon and Mod ID of the block or entity!
\n* **Hold ALT to Expand:** The tooltip defaults to a single, compact summary line so it doesn’t clutter your screen. Hold the `ALT` key to instantly expand the box and read the full paragraph.
\n* **Optimized & Cached:** It only queries the API once per unique block\/entity and caches the response in memory, meaning you won’t burn through your API quota looking at the same chest twice.<\/p>\n
### How to Use<\/p>\n
1. **Install the Mod:** Drop `aitooltip` into your `mods` folder.
\n2. **Launch Minecraft:** Launch the game at least once so the mod can generate its configuration file.
\n3. **Configure your API Key:**
\n * Go to your Minecraft folder and open `config\/aitooltip_config.json`.
\n * Get a free API key from Google AI Studio (https:\/\/aistudio.google.com\/).
\n * Replace `”PUT_YOUR_GEMINI_KEY_HERE”` with your actual key and save the file.
\n4. **Toggle the HUD In-Game:**
\n * Join a world or server.
\n * Press **`M`** (by default, can be changed in Options > Controls) to toggle the AI Tooltip HUD on or off.
\n * Look at something!<\/p>\n
### Configuration (`config\/aitooltip_config.json`)
\n“`json
\n{
\n “geminiApiKey”: “YOUR_KEY_HERE”,
\n “useWebSearch”: true
\n}
\n“`
\n* `geminiApiKey`: Your Google Gemini API key.
\n* `useWebSearch`: Set to `true` (default) to allow the AI to browse the internet for better answers on modded content. Set to `false` if you want slightly faster, but potentially less accurate, responses.<\/p>\n
