RarityCore For Fabric
by Yanbwe
RarityCore For Fabric colors item names and borders by rarity, and it adds the rarity items the vanilla game does not provide.
What it does
Items get a colored border and a colored name based on their rarity, so a player can tell common gear from rarer loot at a glance in inventories and tooltips. The mod also adds further rarity items to the game. A data pack can change which items sit in each rarity and how they look, and a basic configuration system exposes the settings to server owners and players.
The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is built for Fabric and published only for Minecraft 1.20.1, with a latest file of 1201.1.2-Fabric for 1.20.1. Its source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it has public links to a wiki and an issue tracker.
Key features
Colored item borders
Item slots display a colored border that matches the item's rarity, drawn from a texture with set colors.
Colored item names
Item names are tinted by rarity, so the rarity shows in the tooltip as well as the slot.
Tooltip injection
The rarity information is added to item tooltips, so it appears wherever the item is shown.
NBT matching
Items can be matched by their NBT data, which lets rarity apply to specific stacks rather than whole item types.
Data pack support
Data packs can define which items belong to each rarity, so modpacks can adjust the setup without code.
Rendering cache
A basic rendering cache keeps the border and name drawing light while the inventory is open.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Modpack rarity setup
Modpack authors can use data packs to assign rarities to modded items, so loot is marked consistently across the pack.
Who it’s for: Players who want clearer loot colors and modpack authors who need consistent rarity markers on items from several mods.

What the author says
A Minecraft mod that adds more rarity to items and displays colored borders around them. Since porting this mod to Fabric is almost equivalent to rewriting, the missing features of the lite version will be gradually added in subsequent updates.
