{% endembed %}

### Installation

1. Download the latest version of the plugin
2. Download the required dependency
   * [ProtocolLib](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/1997) or [packetevents](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/80279)
3. Drag the plugins into your `plugins` folder
4. Start or restart the server

### After restart

If you're using Nexo or ItemsAdder, you can configure the plugin to automatically copy it's assets into those plugins' resource pack folders. Otherwise, use the "Without plugins" option.

2. Set `copy-resource-pack` to `enabled: true`
3. Set the path to `path: Nexo/pack/assets`&#x20;

<summary>ItemsAdder</summary>

Inside Tooltips

1. Go into `config.yml`
2. Set `copy-resource-pack` to `enabled: true`
3. Set the path to `path: ItemsAdder/contents`
4. Do `/tt reload` for Tooltips to generate its assets into ItemAdder
5. Do `/iazip` to reload resource pack

Repeat steps 4 and 5 anytime you update themes or icons.

<details>

<summary>Without plugins</summary>

You will have to first [create your own resource pack](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Creating_a_resource_pack#Creating_a_resource_pack) (if you don't have an existing one already) and then copy the contents of `...plugins/Tooltips/.generated` into your resource packs `assets` folder. After that, host the resource pack somewhere (for example [here](https://mc-packs.net/) or [here](https://resourcepack.host/)). You will have to re-merge the resource pack after every config change related to themes or icons.
