Haven't got the rebirth version anymore.

Crashed my game going into a treasure room.
Same man, same! On Rebirth, no other mods and DLC
чёт не работает
I don't understand what this means,can you describe it clearer?
How do you use WinZip to get the mods to work?
My game crashed when I went to the Gold Room
sorry but how do i install this?
AAWWW HELL GOOD MOD IN THE HOUS
Hope you will make a AB+ version soon.
Dunno if I'm gonna bother with that ,if it means I have to rebuy it or something, also heard that Afterbirth+ isn't very good anyway.
they've hammered out all the bugs now, so its great I highly recommend it while u get the discount
No. It's whrite on the description.
Sick. Helpful not having to get some item site on your second monitor. Thx
I may just be an idiot, but how do I download version 4 or below? I swap to on the drop down list, but it always downloads version 5.2. Version 5.2 crashes mine, so I want to use an older one.
Yeah same, how do we download version 4?
Should just show on the drop downbox,click Version 4 then download.
This actually doesn't work.. Keeps downloading 5.2. Can you upload it somewhere else and share the link?
Rip, just tried it and you're right, it doesn't work.
Sadly I don't have the rebirth version saved as I made that when I was on my old computer.
I don't enderstand,
When i enter in a item room, my game crash...
Can you help me ?
i have the same problem, if you find out how to fix can you tell me?
What other mods are you guys using?
If you're getting crashes then you most likely don't have Afterbirth.
Version 4 and below should be Rebirth compatible.
me:"oh i don't really know how to install this...oh a read me! that can help me!"
opens readifyouwant
*the lack of instructions fills you with disapointment
gr8 mod 8/10
There's a help page for downloading mods on the actual website.
its ok i figured it out myself, thanks for trying to help tho
could use some tweaking on removing long text, but overall a nice lightweigth mod that works well with afterbirth
Probably one of the most helpful mods for people who can't figure out what most items do.
Best Mod that i found (finally i know everything without looking at the Isaac sheet)
tbh didnt even know what some of the items did (like habit or monkey paw) dont kill me pls
Game crashes when I enter item room
It is probably because this is afterbirth and you are using rebirth. I did the same thing.
great mod, but i think i found a mistake: the scissors description right now is "flight" but that item doesnt gives you flight. it cuts your head off, your head becomes a stationary turrent and you move your body around. i think you confused it with pinking shears.
I have beat the game but I NEVER remember the ITEMS (Clearer: What the items DO) THANKS SOOO MUCH
Thanks! Very good for new players!
its a great mod but i already know what all items do but i hope it can help me with the numbers
meh sadly i know 99% of the items by now, would have been usefull at the start
Congrats you made the game more suited for newcomers. You want a reward? Okay here is a macaroni noodle.
Очень полезно!
This mod is perfect for literally perfect for clueless beginners, I wonder how it's not vanilla already
I can make bob's brain description even clearer!
Like...
"Hold "R" to restart!"
Game crashes when I enter item room
the mod wont work. Is it supposed to be a notepad file?
Just put it in your "resources" folder, not in the "packed" one.
good job man your mod is awesome !
Man 10k downloads. When I first made it I didn't expect it to be this popular!
Thank ya'll and hope ya'll enjoy it.
I wish this mod included Missing HUD so I could have it on Mac.
this helped me learn what obscure items do.
This is a very good mod! Great job!
This helped me play the game since i suck at it.
Aller, espérons qu'il fonctionne ^^
This is what i needed, something that actually explained items properly, because missingHUD always disagreed, now i have a proper description
Didn't work for me. I put it on resource, but it do nothing What should i do?
You have to extract the .rar file with winrar first.
Hello,
I found some errors in the mod ^-^
loki's horn: "has a chance to fire 4tears in eache direction" but it more "fire 1 tear ine each (of the 4) direction)
card high prestress: "summon mum's foot" instead of "mom's foot)
That's all i got for now, thanks for you mod really helpfull ;)
Maybe the modder is in a country that uses "mum" instead of "mom" you American >
Thx Now I can do maths in games too still great mode
This mod's great with trinkets, active items, and cards/pills. It's not as good with passive items though, because once you pick the item up, It might not be what you thought it was.
It has really helped me with items! Thank you!
Is this compatible with rebirth? or only afterbirth
Version 4 and below are compatible with Rebirth,anything above is Afterbirth.
Just install 7zip. It is open source (free), and supports all the compression standards you could want. It's the only compression tool I ever use.
or WinRAR because of unlimited free trial
If it's unlimited, then is it REALLY a free trial?
WinZip doesnt have an unlimited free trial, it costs money after like 15 days
Now your thinking about winZIP, not winRAR, there is a difference
This helps so much! thank you for making this!
Oh, it seems that the game fails to load the images. Example : Failed to load image gfx/items/collectibles/collectibles_264_smartfly.png

After it fails to load the image the game crashes.
Sorry,no idea what is causing this problem or how to fix it.
Could you make a mod that gives clearer descriptions on character stats on the character select menu? Great mod, by the way.
What do you mean,if you give me a better detail then I might make it for you.
Like, some characters have some certain stat bonuses that aren't mentioned, I think. If you could make a mod that would give characters more detailed descriptions in the character select menu, that would be great. Know what I mean?
I think I do. Do you mean like how some characters start with a damage multiplier? I could try to make a mod for that,but it'd be abit hard (for me atleast) as it'd need graphics,but if that's what you mean I'll have a go at it.
That depends: Would you like to see a magic trick...?
This is a great mod. Only problem for me is some of the new item descriptions. Some don't help and some aren't even changed. I had to go into the actual item descriptions to correct them. Other than that, I loved this mod!
Could you please elaborate on the items that needed fixing? Better still would be you sharing your already completed fixin' with the rest of us.
Only I'd rather he didn't as it'd be copying parts of my mod. But if any items are broken,all people have to do is tell me and I'll get to fixing it.
The parts that would be shared are the parts that you didn't modify, though. That is what I was asking for, but I have since then looked at the file and saw that it was a xml that could be fix'd using a text editor.
Instead of a folder it comes out like an internet sign
GREAT MOD! Really helped me out alot!
i put the folder in here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources
but it doesn't work. the file says clearer-item-descriptions_5.2.rar, but I don't know if there is something wrong. btw I have afterbirth.
You have to extract the .rar file using winrar
Now it works, thanks SO MUCH and I am sorry for my stupidity, I am still a bit new to modding.
just wondering because I am a tad bit new to modding, what folder do i put this in, thank you.
Just extract the .rar file and place it into the resources folder!
I have The Binding Of Isaac on Steam,I downloaded this mod before, but after the upgrade is impossible to do it again
Sorry then,I have no idea. Ask here and you might get a response from someone who knows what's wrong.
well yeah idk post something about it on the steam page,do you have The Binding Of Isaac on Steam? You need it on Steam and for your profile to be on public to download mods from this website.
Good mod, is it compatible with others?
It'll be compatible with any mods that don't change item text. So you should be able to have this and Binding Of Isaac:Godmode for example.
Oh yeah,with this new Afterbirth update all the crashes people had shouldn't happen anymore :P
Some texts are too long like the Sack Head, it's just cut and you can't read it completely!
I'll try to get round to fixing them soon.
I'm going to make a list, as you told me.
Good news probably,I'll probably buy Afterbirth soon then get to work on an updated version of this for Afterbirth. Dunno when it'll be out but it probably will be eventually and this time I'm more sure of that. :P
Enjoy the new update,took about 2 and a half hours to do lel
Fantastic mod, I always forget what some of those trinkets do
Props to you ;)
Yeah same, when I start it , it crash
This should be fixed now with the Afterbirth update.
This is a very good mod for when you are first starting out in the game and need to memorize which item is which and what each item does. At this moment in time I am still quite the n00b at TBOIR so I use this mod whenever I play.
Very Useful mod, but unfortunately for me it keeps crashing my game
love it i've even added my own description for some of the not described items it works great
Hey i love this mod and i use the undertale overhaul so i cant use this this can you make it compatible?
Good idea but part of the game is the mystery
Blue spike I'm having a major issue.

Doesn't help the mod dev much if you don't tell him what the issue is.
How do i download it onto my game? I pressed the download button but it did nothing

Or 7zip. It's free and it extracts .rar files just fine.
No,and wont until somebody offers to make an extention for Afterbirth for my lazy ass.
There's a working one for afterbirth here: http://moddingofisaac.com/mod/874/itemdescriptions-afterbirth
That's sad, I hope someone else works on it. This mod was so useful.
Here's the afterbirth items.xml https://www.reddit.com/r/themoddingofisaac/comments/3rbtnt/updated_itempoolsxml_and_playersxml/
Hey creator, since you quit, would you be opposed to someone using this mod as the stepping stone towards an Afterbirth version?
I would like this for afterbirth, This is gud mod
Would be nice to see an update for Afterbirth
Some items that were confusing before are still confusing, like The Tick, it would be awesome if you could change the desc for it to describe it's boss health modifier
yeah where IS the help section? ..... I need a help section to get to the help section :I also, when I download it, it comes up as being a link to a website, and it keeps downloading the link...
This was always a problem for me, now with this mod EVERYTHING is so much more satisfying and is just plain awesome. Keep up the good work
Even though I stopped playing Rebirth ages ago now,if you guys really demand it I'll update it when Afterbirth comes out.
Seems like a great mod for newer players or people that just can't remember what items do. This mod fills a much needed option in Rebirth!
I've played +200 hours of rebirth and still can't always remember half of the stuff, so this is great!
I know all of the items in this game but, why not, for the beginner
That helps me out, quite often...I mean Flush: "..." well, Edmund clearest Item Description ever...
Nice mod. Is there any way to make the description stay longer, the text dissapear before i can read it all?
0/10, Butter Bean isn't labeled as "Drop this as soon as possible."
Can you please post a mirror link , cause i dont got it in steam :c
BindingOfIsaac.com provides a DRM free version that doesn't require steam.
dude, you are REALLY not selling yourself, almost every one of your comments i have seen has been you being mean... although your work is really good!
BlueSpike confirmed bragger. Will never download mod. 0/10
I would like to know if this mod affects achievements and secrets plz. I really love it though i'm tired to switch to internet whenever i wonder what stats an item gives. Thanks
This should just be in the game, great mod!
Drag the files into your resource folder.
@ Don't try to make me change it,I checked and it isn't wrong.Now go,troll.
Sorry but Spam is advertising a product, just leaving a comment isn't spam. Also I downloaded this again and re-installed it, it is the only mod I use but the problem is still there: http://i.imgur.com/lQm5nHC.png

you were saying?
This help me alot with new item thanks for the help.
Bible Tract says "99 coins" this is also wrong
Hey, I downloaded this and Monkey's Paw description is "Flight" -this is incorrect!
I feel like this would be very useful.
True story.
Monster Manuel ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
This mod would've been really useful, but I memorized every items effects by 2 weeks of release
Really great mod, very helpful for learning all those detailed item descriptions without studying the wiki.
You just extract the files,then drag the pocketitems and the items into the resource folder!
Does this prevent you from gaining achievements?
