FirItemZoom
by Nicoppara
FirItemZoom enlarges the item under the mouse cursor in inventory screens, so small icons are easier to read while crafting.
What it does
Item icons in the inventory and crafting table screens are hard to make out at normal size. FirItemZoom shows a large, slowly rotating preview of whichever item sits under the cursor, which makes it easier to check an item before moving it. The mod is Fabric-only and is published for 1.21.8, with a single Fabric file, 1.0-1.21.8, dated 2025-09-03. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Enlarged item preview
Hovering over an item shows a large version of it near the cursor, so details are visible without squinting.
Rotating view
The preview turns slowly, letting players see the item from several sides while deciding where to place it.
Single inventory focus
The mod does one thing: it changes how items are shown in inventory screens and leaves other screens alone.
