RarityCore
by Yanbwe
RarityCore gives items seven rarity levels, each shown with its own colored background in the inventory and item tooltips.
What it does
Rarity levels are set up mostly by the mod itself. A built-in preset covers over 70 mods, and an automatic calculation assigns rarity to items by evaluating their crafting recipes, so most items receive a level without manual configuration. Players can recolor backgrounds, turn the colors off, or set a rarity level with a few mouse clicks.
For custom setups, rarity can be matched through item IDs, NBT tags and data components, so items sharing an ID but carrying different tags can be treated separately. Configuration is possible through data packs, commands, configuration files and code registration. The mod requires Forge or NeoForge and runs on both client and server, so both sides need it. Its source is open under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and public links cover the source code, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Seven rarity levels
Items display one of seven levels instead of a three-tier system, and each level has its own background color.
Automatic rarity calculation
Items receive a rarity level from their crafting recipes, so the system covers most items without setup.
Custom backgrounds
Players can replace the default gradient with a background image they have drawn, or disable the colors.
Tag and component matching
Rarity can be assigned by NBT tags or data components, separating items that share the same ID.
Loot system
A looting system similar to Escape from Tarkov is included, adding a rarity-based loot layer.

Use cases
Visual sorting in inventories
Gold and purple items stand out at a glance, which helps when a large inventory holds many similar stacks.
Modpack rarity tiers
Pack makers can align items from several mods to one shared rarity scale using tags and configuration files.
Who it’s for: Players who want rarity colors on items from many mods, and modpack makers who need one rarity scale across a pack. Server owners can keep the setup on the server side.
