LootMate

LootMate draws beams over dropped or stored items and highlights inventory slots and chests that hold stronger gear. It compares weapons and armor using DPS, total damage including Sharpness, and an armor value, based on the old and new combat systems. Food can be ranked too, showing the item with the highest nutrition and the one with the highest saturation. Equipped items can trigger a message in the hotbar.

The mod is configurable: options can be set for around one stack of settings, and custom items can be added by listing their parameters separated by spaces, with hex colors for the highlights. Totems and shields are covered as well. Fabric API is required, Mod Menu is optional and gives access to the configuration screen, and the MidnightLib configuration library is bundled inside the jar. The mod runs on the client alone, with Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.10 – 26.3. Its license is custom and the code is not open source. Some servers may treat it as a cheat, so players should read the server rules before joining.
