Project overview

This is the Forge version of the mod, if you're looking for Fabric click here . Equipment Compare is a configurable client-side mod that simply makes it easier to compare equipment at a glance. Highly useful in a modded environment with lots of unique items to compare! This mod works differently than most tooltip "comparison" mods--it just shows a tooltip for what you're already wearing next to the tooltip for what you're hovering over. By doing it this way, there is much wider support for new stats and features added by other mods. All versions besides the 1.12.2 version require Iceberg, you can download it here . Client / Server This mod is fully client-side. Configuration By default, you can show comparison tooltips by holding the shift key and hovering over an item. This is configurable as a keybind in the inventory section of the controls menu. The configuration file for the mod also has options to reverse this behavior (always show comparisons unless the key is held), as well as color and text options for the "equipped" badge that shows above tooltips. Additionally, you can specify a list of item IDs to blacklist if you'd like to disable comparisons for certain items. You are free to use this mod in modpacks.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Armor, Tools, and Weapons, Miscellaneous, Cosmetic, Map and Information on Forge, NeoForge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is Apr 1, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

  • Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
  • Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
  • Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
  • Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
  • Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
