Pixelated Enchants
by MaMiBet
Pixelated Enchants gives each enchantment its own glint color and pattern, so enchanted gear can be told apart at a glance on the client.
What it does
The mod is a client-side visual tool for enchanted items. Instead of the single vanilla glint shared by every enchantment, enchantments display distinct colors and effects on the same item, while the original Minecraft look stays recognizable. Glint effects cover weapons, tools, armor, shields, other enchanted items and supported projectiles such as arrows.
When an item carries several enchantments, their visual effects blend into one another rather than switching abruptly between them, and the final appearance still reflects each enchantment. Players can set colors and glint styles per enchantment by default and override them for individual items, so two items with the same enchantment can look completely different. The in-game menu opens with the G key by default.
Pixelated Enchants is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 and 1.21.2 – 1.21.8 release builds, with a Forge file for 1.8.9, and it runs only on the client, so servers need nothing installed. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Support for the mod is optional and the mod is free to use.
