ItemDisplay
by Producks
ItemDisplay lets players show off held gear in chat by typing a token that is swapped for a hoverable item display on the server.
What it does
Once a player types a placeholder into chat, the server swaps it for the item's name, and moving the cursor over that name brings up the standard in-game tooltip listing enchantments, lore and remaining durability. Items from the main hand, the offhand and the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots slots can all be shown this way. The display is added below the chat message that carried the token.
Because the server sends these chat lines again after substituting placeholders, the altered text carries no player signature and can still be flagged through chat reporting. Because the processing happens on the server, players join without installing anything beyond Fabric API, which the mod requires. The mod is lightweight and is published for Fabric only. Files cover 1.19.4 – 26.2, with 1.0.0+mc26.1 for 26.2 as the latest build, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Token replacement
Typing a token in chat is replaced by the item's name, so players can point to gear without pasting a full description.
Hoverable item display
Hovering over the replaced name shows the vanilla tooltip, including enchantments, lore and durability.
Main hand and offhand
Items held in either hand can be displayed, along with pieces worn in the four armor slots.
Inline display
The item display appears below the chat message that contained the token, keeping the original text readable.

Use cases
Showing a trade or a build
A player can link a tuned weapon or set of armor in chat so others can inspect its enchantments before a trade.
Asking for help with gear
Players can display an item they are struggling with, and helpers see its exact stats on hover instead of guessing.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run survival or community servers where players talk about equipment, and players who want to show gear without typing out its stats.
How it compares
CancelChat Fabric is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21 – 26.1.2 and does not display items. Server Chat Log History is server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, for 1.20 – 1.21.6, and records chat rather than showing items. Extra Chat is client-side only, not open source, and is published for 26.2 alone.
