I want to write a mod that makes item (and other) tooltips look like they did in Beta, transluscent black boxes instead of the fancy purple ones:

 

 

I found some older posts that mentioned drawHoveringText in GuiScreen.

 

Now, I managed to change the tooltip by overriding drawHoveringText in a custom container class, which extends GuiScreen (which is how I took the screenshot above). However, I would like to change the look in vanilla/other mods' screens as well. I looked through Forge's event handlers, specifically GuiScreenEvent, but it doesn't look like there are any hooks to override the tooltip that I could use, nor does it seem there are any events for methods which themselves call drawHoveringText.

 

Am I out of luck or is there some other way of going about this?

 

Thanks.

Alright, thank you. That explains why I haven't ever been able to find such a mod in the past...
