Luminous loot
Luminous loot is a server-side datapack that gives rare drops a glowing effect so valuable items are easier to spot.
What it does
Luminous loot adds glowing effects to items from loot drops, so rare and valuable items stand out in the world. The effect is built from command and particle logic, with calculated points that form circular outlines and marker rings around entities, blocks and spawners. Server owners who want clear visual cues for loot can use it without a separate mod loader setup for players.
The datapack is described as lightweight, with no complicated systems behind the particle work. It adds visual markers for bosses, ability cues, themed circles and environmental effects, and can be added to a world as a set of markers for datapack mechanics. Builders who create adventure maps or minigames can use the same effects to mark objectives and zones.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for server platforms, with builds covering 1.16 – 26.2. Snapshot builds are published. Only the server needs the datapack, and players may leave it out. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
