NamedLoot
by GrennKren
Dropped items gain customizable name tags, so a player scanning the ground can spot valuable loot from a distance without hovering over each stack in NamedLoot.
What it does
NamedLoot draws a name tag above each dropped item. The text, its colors, the background opacity and the text style can be adjusted, and the tag shows enchantment details, so the contents of a drop are readable at a glance. Distance controls decide how far away a tag remains visible, which keeps the ground from filling with labels in busy areas.
The mod suits chaotic combat, mining trips and sorting large storage systems, where many drops land at once. Settings are handled through a ModMenu interface, which also exposes the formatting options. Players can see enchantments on an item without picking it up. The mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Installation is needed on the client only. Multiplayer servers work without installing anything, and the environment is client-side only. Files are published for Fabric only, for five game versions, 1.21.4 – 26.2, with 1.2.8+26.2 for 26.2 as the latest file.
