(Question): How would you make a tooltip hidden except for when you press shift/ctrl/alt?

[pm065]

public boolean isShift() {
    return Screen.hasShiftDown();
}

public boolean isCtrl() {
    return Screen.hasControlDown();
}

public boolean isAlt() {
    return Screen.hasAltDown();
}

Although I've not any knowledge of Java, the existence of these functions seems to indicate that this is possible. This would be incredibly useful for providing item info on-the-fly (I don't really like the JEI information approach; I feel it's not immediately obvious that you find info in JEI and for me it just looks ugly), but I can't figure out how to do this.

Is it something to do with the unexplained advanced parameter in the given advanced tooltip example:

tooltip.addAdvanced('thermal:latex_bucket', (item, advanced, text) => { // This advanced parameter is there with not much explanation
    text.add(0, Text.of('Hello'))
})

For that matter, what does the item one do? I wish I could get this kind of support easier, but I detest Discord with a passion...

In order of your questions:

1. You can just use these functions like event.isShift() etc. inside your tooltip handler, kind of like this

tooltip.addAdvanced('thermal:latex_bucket', (item, advanced, text) => { 
    if(tooltip.isShiftDown()) {
      text.add(0, Text.of('Hello'))
    }
})

2. advanced stands for "advanced tooltips", i.e. whether the user has F3+H activated
3. item is the item stack itself, so you can for example get the item's nbt and such for the tooltip as well

Hope I could answer all of your questions ^^
