Item Outlines
by Mrbysco
Item Outlines lets players choose which dropped items glow on the ground, so rare drops stand out from the rest.
What it does
Glow settings are configured per item, so a player can decide which dropped items are outlined and which stay plain. Settings are grouped into JSON files with one list per color, and each list names the items that glow in that color. By default the mod makes dropped Nether Stars glow. The mod is client required and server optional, so a player must install it while a server may add it for extra features. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is under the MIT License and open source.
