Loot Log: Pickup Notifier
Loot Log: Pickup Notifier shows a configurable notice on screen each time the player picks up an item, with stacking and animation options.
What it does
Each pickup appears as a real-time notice. Duplicate items can be combined into one entry with a running pickup count and the total held in the inventory, and large numbers are shortened, so 1,500 reads as 1.5K. Merging is governed by one of three combine modes: duplicates can always be joined, never joined, or joined except for items that carry a custom name.
Entries fade in and out over a configurable duration, slide in from the screen edges, pop in with a scale effect, and appear in a staggered cascade. Rich text effects such as rainbow colors can be applied to item names through EmbersTextAPI. Settings are changed in an in-game config screen built on YACL v3.3 or newer, and on Fabric a Mod Menu button opens it from the mod list.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It uses a custom license and is not open source.

Use cases
Tracking loot in long sessions
Players farming or mining can watch the running totals of common drops without opening the inventory.
Customizing the look of notices
Players who want their pickup feed to match a modpack's style can adjust animation timing and text effects.
Who it’s for: Players who want a more detailed pickup feed than the vanilla message allows, including those who play modpacks with a custom visual style.
How it compares
Loot Journal: Pickup Notifier is client-side only and also supports Quilt, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under a custom license that is not open source. No Item Pickup Animations is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and covers Fabric only, for 1.15 – 1.21.11, so it offers animations but no stacking or combine modes.
