Pickup HUD
by kotleni
Pickup HUD shows a short on-screen message each time the player picks up items or gains experience, so pickups stay visible during play.
What it does
Pickup HUD tracks items that enter the inventory and experience gained from orbs, then displays them in a heads-up overlay. A tracked items menu lets the player choose which entries to follow, with options to track, untrack, toggle or clear each one. Searching by item name or identifier narrows the list, and each entry shows the item icon, display name and full identifier.
The mod can filter notifications so that only tracked items appear on screen or play a sound. Pickup HUD runs on the client alone, so a server without it works normally. It requires Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric, and its files are published for 1.21 – 26.2, with 2.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest build. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only.

How it compares
Action-HUD is a Fabric HUD framework under the MIT License, usable on the client or the server, and it covers 1.21 – 26.3. ResourceTracker is client-side only, also MIT licensed and published for 1.21 – 26.3, so it fits the same client setup. Just Enough Pickups is a client and server mod with All rights reserved licensing and files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it has to be installed on both sides and is not open source.
