Configuration Options

You can change the keybind in keybind options. The default is Left Shift.

The configuration file can be found in the config folder, and is titled jed-client.toml. The options are:

• jei_integration - Wether the mod should add a JEI information tab (true by default, if JEI is present).
• tooltip_activation_time - The time in ticks to hold shift for the UI to open (20 ticks default).
• allow_if_empty - Wether the mod should show the description tooltip even if no entry exists (true by default).
• always_en_us - Always force english US, despite language selected (false by default).
• excluded_mod_ids - A list of mod IDs to not add descriptions from (empty by default). Add "jed" to exclude default descriptions.

Contributing to JED

We have currently completed translations for English (US) and English (UK) (And possibly an easter egg language?). If you want to work on any translation that has not been completed, join the discord.

Integrating JED support into your Mods / Resourcepacks

To integrate JED support into your mods or resourcepacks, simply create a jed folder in your assets folder. For example:

• assets/minecraft/jed/  - for Minecraft descriptions.
• assets/<modid>/jed/ -  for custom mods.
  Inside this folder, create .json files similar to the language format. These must be titled with the correct language ID, for example en_us.json or ru_ru.json. An example json is shown here.
