Showcase
by Hyouka
Showcase lets players share items, inventories, containers and villager trades in chat, with previews that other players can open.
What it does
On a server with Showcase, a player can post a link in chat that shows an item, an inventory, a container or a villager's trades to everyone else. Recipients open the link and see the shared contents as an interactive preview. Books, maps and containers can be unpacked automatically when viewed, and shared entries are kept until their expiration time.
Showcase runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything beyond Fabric API, which is required. LuckPerms can be added for permission control over who may share, and Text Placeholder API is an optional dependency. The code is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Quilt across 19 release versions, 1.20.5 – 26.3.
Key features
Item and container sharing
Players share a held item, a full inventory, a chest or an ender chest, and villager trades, all through chat links.
Interactive previews
Recipients open a shared link to view its contents, including unpacked books and maps, without needing access to the original container.
Configurable chat keywords
Trigger words can be set in the config, so a short keyword starts a quick share in place of a command.
Player statistics
Statistics are tracked with detailed categories and can be read through commands or displayed in chat.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want players to share items and inventories in chat, and players who take part in that sharing. Clients need no installation, since the mod runs on the server.
How it compares
Embellish Chat is server-side only, open source under the Apache License 2.0, and published for Fabric across 1.21 – 26.3, so it covers the same versions with a different license. Show Everything is open source under the MIT License and works on client and server for 1.20.5 – 1.21.4, so every player must install it. Statistics Info is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers only 26.1 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.
