Pickup Notifications

by Roundaround

When a player picks up an item, Pickup Notifications shows a popup on screen with that item's icon and name.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.3

What it does

Each pickup produces a notification that shows the item stripped of unique data such as enchantments, custom names and conditions, so the icon and name are always the raw item. The mod also shows notifications for experience orb pickups, which can be turned off in the config file.

Settings live in pickupnotifications.toml inside the config folder, and the same options can be opened through the mod list of a configuration menu. The mod must be installed on both the server and the client for multiplayer servers. Pickup Notifications requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Item pickup popups

    Each collected item appears as a popup with its raw icon and name, without enchantment or custom name text.

  2. Experience orb notices

    Experience orb pickups can also produce notifications, and the trackExperience option switches them off.

  3. Screen placement

    The popups can sit in any screen corner, with a configurable offset, scale and stacking limit.

  4. Icon and background options

    Icons can sit left, right, inside or outside the box, and the background, opacity and text shadow can each be toggled.

  5. Queued notifications

    When the maximum number of visible notices is reached, extra pickups wait in a queue until room opens.

Questions

Does Pickup Notifications need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on every loader the mod supports, so it must be installed alongside Pickup Notifications.

Do servers need Pickup Notifications installed?

Yes. Multiplayer servers require the mod on both the server and every client, so players connecting to such a server must install it as well.

Where are the settings stored?

Options are in pickupnotifications.toml in the config folder, and a configuration menu can open the same settings when it is installed.
