Improved Item Pickups

by CriTMx

Improved Item Pickups shows a clean, animated notification on screen each time the player picks up an item, stating what it was and how many were collected.

What it does

When an item enters the inventory, a small notification slides in from the right side of the screen and reports the item and the count picked up. The animation is smooth and kept close to the look of vanilla Minecraft, so the feedback fits into the existing interface rather than standing out from it. Adventurers who collect random loot can follow what they gained without opening the inventory.

The notification's size, position and colors can be changed to suit the player's preference, and the mod includes four on-screen position presets for quick setup. The mod is marked as beta, and the author asks players to report any bugs they encounter through the GitHub issue tracker. More types of information are planned for later versions, and Forge ports are in development.

Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, targeting 26.1 – 26.2. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and only players need it installed. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Animated pickup notifications

    Each collected item triggers a smooth notification that slides in from the right side of the screen.

  2. Count of items picked up

    The notification shows how many of an item were collected, not only that it was picked up.

  3. Adjustable appearance

    Size, position and colors of the notification can be changed to match the player's liking.

  4. Four position presets

    Four preset on-screen positions are included, so the notification can be placed quickly without manual tuning.
