## TipStatus :: union

This is used by TipsAndTricksItem for the initial starting status. One of the following values:

#### Union members

`"locked"` | The tip is hidden.
`"optional"` | Same as `"locked"`.
`"dependencies-not-met"` | The trigger for the tip was already met, but the tip is still hidden because of dependencies.
`"unlocked"` | Not suggested by trigger yet, but visible in the window. This is also the state that tips are left in when the /unlock-tips command is used in-game.
`"suggested"` | The dependencies and triggers are met, the game suggests the tip, shows the notification icon in the GUI.
`"not-to-be-suggested"` |
`"completed-without-tutorial"` | The tip is considered completed.
