Inventory Visual Enhancer
by soulmacc
Inventory Visual Enhancer is a Fabric client-side mod that changes how item stacks and tooltips look in inventory screens, without altering the items themselves.
What it does
Rarity glows add subtle colored borders to items, so common, rare and legendary tiers can be told apart at a glance. Thin circular rings around a stack show how full it is, and can pulse as an optional animation. Enchanted items get animated icons whose shimmer can be replaced with sparkles, gradients or custom overlays.
The mod is configurable through a customization menu, where glow intensity, ring styles and rarity definitions can be adjusted. Rarity definitions can also be set through enchantments JSON and datapacks. An accessibility mode uses shapes and patterns for colorblind players, and theme skins such as minimalist, fantasy and neon change the overall look.
Installation needs Fabric API. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can use it in single-player or on any server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, published on 2026-03-12.
