# ItemTooltipEvent

This event is fired whenever a tooltip is calculated.

  Note: the player may not always be present, make sure you check if it is null before trying to use it

The event is not cancelable.

The event does not have a result.

## Importing the class

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import at the very top of the file.
```zenscript
import crafttweaker.forge.api.event.item.ItemTooltipEvent;
```
