SlotGlow
by Qemaru
SlotGlow, a Fabric client mod, lets a player mark favorite items in the inventory and highlight them in a chosen color.
What it does
Players build a list of favorites and assign each entry its own highlight color. Matching stacks in the inventory get an outline, and a pulse animation can draw the eye to them. Totems, ender pearls and other important items stay visible in a full pile of loot.
A search field inside the inventory screen finds items by name, so a player can locate a favorite without scanning every slot. Because it is a client-side only mod, it needs no installation on the server, and players can join servers that do not run it.
Installation requires Fabric API and Mod Menu. Files are published for Fabric only, across 24 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.2, and the latest build is 1.1.0 for 26.2, released 2026-07-25. SlotGlow is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
