Fresh Loot Highlight [FLH]
by maDU59_
Fresh Loot Highlight marks items a player has just picked up, so newly acquired stacks can be located when the inventory opens.
What it does
Items received in the last ten seconds are marked on the HUD, and the mod can read out what was picked up through the narrator. Highlighting stays on until the inventory is opened, which lets a player who collected several things in a row check them in one pass. The mod is a client-side utility, so it changes nothing on a server and players can join servers without installing it.
The configuration screen opens through Mod Menu or the flhConfig command, where the highlight duration, HUD elements and narrator behavior can be adjusted. Fabric API is required. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.20 – 26.1.2, and snapshot builds are included, with 1.0.18 for 26.1.2 as the latest file.
