It's Tell Me mod but it shows hint ON MOUSE OVER. And this is server mod.

Recommended

ShowMe (this mod) + Health Info

I have to enable only 2 mods?

Yes. Actually you can disable all other interface mods and enable only Show Me. But it's better to enable Health Info. This mod won't provide info about health if Health Info mod is detected.

[h1]What is better?[/h1][list] [*]Compared to Item Tooltips mod my mod provides GREAT network traffic economy: it send info over network ONLY for item under mouse. [*]But Helath Info mod works faster at the cost of traffic. Health Info is good optimized too but with emphasis on fast delivery of information. So it sends and updates info about health of all creatures around. My mod, on the contrary, saves data traffic, even for the current object. [/list]

[h1]Details[/h1][list] [*]There is a little time offset (~100ms) because the mod send info only on mouse over. No waste data traffic. [*]It will update info not more often than 1 time per 1 second. (For example, Items Tooltips spams RPCs 30 times per second). [*]Ofc it won't update info if it's not changed. No waste network traffic again. :) [*]Incompatible with Item Tooltips, Display Food Values and other unknown interface mods. [*]Compatible with Combined Status whose settings will affect temperature units. [*]Finder mod is included. [/list]

FAQ

Q: Is it possible to make a normal Don't Starve version? A: There is a mod Detailed Tooltips. Controller is not supported by that mod.

Q: Is it possible to make client version mod? A: No, it's not possible. There must be server part of the mod to send information available only on server.

Q: I changed settings but it didn't changed. A: Client settings are stronger than server settings. Go to Play->Mods->Server mods->Show Me, and change all values to default.

Q: I got a crash related to game files (like componentactions.lua). A: ANOTHER mod has a bug with net variables, probably related to containers (e.g. Smarter Crock Pot).
