I'm looking to render a tooltip text box like the one you get for hovering over items, eg:

I know the basics of rendering including usage of poseStack in render events, but I just don't know where I can find a class method that can do this.

I'm also hoping said function includes text formatting (bold, italics, colour, etc.) and (if possible) multiline text wrapping but if I have to write that myself any tips for it would be greatly appreciated.

Set the style on the passed in components.

Ok cool, I got it working now.

One other feature I would like is rendering icons on the box, inline if possible. Unicode sounds like the most compatible solution but barring that if I could at least get the coordinates that the tooltip box corners are rendered at so I can just blit my own graphics that'd work too.

Try it an see, they both sound like plausible solutions. The latter may be better since unicode may not be translated across languages.
