Highlighter V2
by metky7
Highlighter V2 colors the items in an inventory by their enchantments, so a piercing or multishot weapon stands out from the rest.
What it does
Items in the player's inventory are tinted in different colors according to the enchantments they carry, and the colors also distinguish enchantment types such as piercing against multishot. Players can scan a crowded inventory without reading every tooltip. The mod runs on Fabric and needs both the server and the players to have it. Builds exist for 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, with MC1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric file, under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Color by enchantment
Each enchanted item is shown in a color that matches its enchantments, so enchanted gear can be spotted in a glance.
Separate enchantment types
Piercing and multishot items, for example, appear in different colors, so the type is visible at a glance.
Inventory-only highlighting
The coloring applies to items in the inventory, leaving the rest of the interface untouched.
