Loot Beams: Relooted!

by AmoAster

Loot Beams: Relooted! draws colored light beams above dropped items so they can be spotted from a distance on Forge.

ForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.2

What it does

The mod adds beams to dropped items by default, and each beam takes its color from the item's name. A whitelist and a blacklist decide which items get beams, color overrides can be set per item, and NBT tags such as lootbeams.color can pick a specific color.

Beams carry nametags that appear when a player looks at an item or crouches, so the item's name can be read without picking it up. Textures and sounds can be replaced through a resource pack, including the trail, particle, beam and glow textures. Config presets are linked from the project page.

The code is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. The latest Forge file, 1.20.1 for 1.20.2, was released on 2023-10-26. Its major changes to customizability arrived on 17/09/23.

Key features

  1. Colored beams

    Dropped items get beams whose color is derived from the item name, so similar loot looks alike.

  2. Whitelist and blacklist

    Filters choose which items receive beams, and per-item color overrides replace the automatic colors.

  3. NBT color tags

    An NBT tag such as lootbeams.color sets the exact color of a specific stack.

  4. Nametags on items

    Nametags show on looking at or crouching near an item, identifying it at a distance.
