What this mod does
DynamicTooltipsLib is a library by Herolias, the author of Simple Enchantments. It lets mods change the tooltip, name or texture of each item individually while you play.
How it works
It uses virtual item IDs to show different data on each individual item, such as the enchantments on one specific sword. It also coordinates the requests from every mod that uses it, so they don’t overwrite each other and the performance cost stays minimal.
Which mods require it
- Required by Aetherhaven.
- Optional for Simple Enchantments, Alec’s Tamework, Alec’s Animal Husbandry, Better Crates/LootBox and Celly’s Wildlife Skins.
Status
The author admits it’s now almost redundant, because Hytale already supports per-item tooltips natively. He’ll keep updating it for compatibility, but without new features. Version 1.6.2 (August 27, 2026) is the version for Update 6. If you use the Soft Packets mod, some items may briefly show as invalid.
This page has been checked with Hytale 0.6 (Update 6). With Update 7 (0.7), released October 12, 2026, the library will need an update, and so will the mods that use it: don’t update an important world until the author publishes a file tagged for the new version.
Checked on October 20, 2026: the author hasn’t published a file tagged for Hytale 0.7 (Update 7) on CurseForge yet. We’ll check again and update this page as soon as it’s out.
User rating
Highlights and things to keep in mind
- Required for Aetherhaven and useful for several popular mods
- Very lightweight (76 KB) with no dependencies
- Stops multiple mods from fighting over tooltips
- Adds nothing on its own
- Won't get new features: the game already does part of its job
- Known incompatibility with Soft Packets (items that briefly show as invalid)
- With Update 7 (released October 12, 2026), you'll need to wait for a compatible version of the library and of the mods that use it
Requirements
- Hytale (Early Access) on PC or server, version 0.6 (file DynamicTooltipsLib-1.6.2.jar)
- No dependencies
- A mod that uses it, such as Aetherhaven, to notice any change
How to install it
- Open the DynamicTooltipsLib page on CurseForge and click Install to install it with the CurseForge app, or download DynamicTooltipsLib-1.6.2.jar from the Files tab (the file tagged 0.6). If you install a mod that needs it from the app, it downloads automatically.
- If you download it manually, copy the file as is, without unzipping it, into your mods folder: on Windows, %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Mods.
- Also install the mod that requires it, for example Aetherhaven.
- Open Hytale, right-click the world, tick DynamicTooltipsLib and the mod that uses it in the mod list, and save the world settings.
- On a dedicated server, put the files in the server's mods folder and restart it.

Common problems
Do I have to install it for Simple Enchantments?
It's not required, only optional. It is required for Aetherhaven.
Why does the author say it's redundant?
Hytale has added a native way to change tooltips per item. The library is kept so mods that already use it keep working.
Some items show as invalid for a moment, is that a bug?
The author describes it as a known incompatibility with Soft Packets in certain cases. If it bothers you, try without that mod.
