Showcaser
by Lolens
Showcaser lets a player share items, fluids, recipes and quests with a single keybind, and it works with the inventory screens of many other mods.
What it does
A player presses one key to send the item, fluid, recipe or quest they are looking at to other players. Shared content is delivered as clickable messages in chat, so a receiver can open it with a click instead of searching for it. The same mechanism covers recipes and FTB Quests entries, and it reaches screens from mods that do not offer sharing on their own.
Showcaser depends on Architectury API, and it hooks into Roughly Enough Items, Enough Items, Applied Energistics 2 and FTB Quests to read their screens. Server owners can mark the server as verified, which tells players that the shared content comes from a trusted source. The mod is available for Fabric and Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.7.4 for 1.20.1, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Showcaser runs on client and server, so both sides need it for the sharing to work.
Key features
Single-keybind sharing
One key sends the held or hovered item, fluid, recipe or quest to chat without opening a separate menu.
Clickable shared messages
Recipients receive a chat message they can click to open the shared content in the relevant screen.
Modded screen support
Sharing works in the inventory and recipe screens of many modded GUIs, not only vanilla containers.

Use cases
Showing a build recipe
A player who finds a useful crafting recipe in Roughly Enough Items can send it to a teammate in one keystroke.
Sharing quest progress
Players on a modpack server can send an FTB Quests entry to friends who are working through the same chapter.
Who it’s for: Players on multiplayer servers and modpack groups who trade items, recipes or quests often. Server owners who want a verified sharing channel will also need the mod on their server.
How it compares
Certain Questing Additions is client-side only, so servers can run without it, and it is released under All rights reserved, not as open source. JourneyMap Shared Maps runs on client and server under the MIT License, covers 1.20.1 – 26.3, and shares map data rather than items or quests. Shared Advancements is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, and it works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.18 – 26.3.
