Title. It's kinda annoying to not see what they do, especially if it just adds attributes.

Maybe if there's too much text it only shows up when holding shift?

Or prints a message in the chat whenever you equip a full set?

You can specify text that appears underneath the bonus when the set bonus is completed that usually states what the set does.

Where's that in the config? The only rendering option I've found seems to do nothing.

There is this bit up here in the client settings that has to be enabled:

"client settings" {
    # Whether or not to show set bonus information in discovered set item tooltips
    B:"1. Enable Tooltips"=true
}

and then when declaring your bonuses in section 2f, you can do something like this:

IceScaleArmorBonus, [+5 Hearts] [Resistance] [+5 Armor], 0, IceScaleArmor

So if I format the diamond set bonus I have like this:

DArmourProc, Diamond Armour, 1, [+30% Attack Speed] [+2 Armour Toughness], DArmour

it'll render that in the tooltip?

No, it'd be more like

DArmourProc, [+30% Attack Speed] [+2 Armour Toughness], 1, DArmour

The format is
ArmorBonus, SetBonus Tooltip, Discovery Mode, ArmorSet

Technically that 2nd argument was intended as a name, but in the end it's really just tooltip text, so you can certainly use it that way.

There used to be more detailed tooltips, but I removed them because...I honestly don't remember the reason(s). It was a long time ago. Maybe they were just too wordy, or maybe there was another issue. I know the same item can qualify for multiple sets, so wordiness was certainly part of it. I also had started a "bonus screen" or "bonus menu" where you could view more detailed information on your known sets / bonuses, but that got put to the side in favor of working on other mods.

In any case, one of my indev mods might end up including Set Bonus's featureset, so I've stopped doing feature updates on Set Bonus until I know whether it's getting absorbed by the indev mod or not.

I'll leave this open for issue visibility and future reference.

Alright, thanks. I do hope someone is able to update the mod and make it more clear how to add tooltips for what a set bonus gives (or maybe it could be automatic)

ah ok. Will try it out, thanks.

DArmourProc, Diamond Armour, [+30% Attack Speed] [+2 Armour Toughness], 1, DArmour
Should throw an error, but...

DArmourProc, Diamond Armour [+30% Attack Speed] [+2 Armour Toughness], 1, DArmour
Should work, in theory. Just keep in mind that it won't format it nicely. The mod doesn't officially support adding to the tooltip this way, so it will not format it very nicely.

Now...there's a little hack you can use to add newlines into it (only because FLib has a special tag that it detects for tooltips in general)...
DArmourProc, FIXNEWLINES Diamond Armour\n[+30% Attack Speed]\n[+2 Armour Toughness], 1, DArmour

The FIXNEWLINES bit gets removed automatically, and converts any instances of \n to actual newlines. These lines won't retain the text color due to the way MC handles text color, so they'll be white, but it's still probably better than the alternative.

Ah ok, thanks. Will try it out.

Hope the mod can get updated soon. I have to check the config for set bonuses and it's kind of annoying.

Alright I tested it, doingDArmourProc, Diamond Armour, [+30% Attack Speed] [+2 Armour Toughness], 1, DArmour does nothing. No tooltips render other than the regular set bonus name one.
