### 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.

<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

<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.
