Show Item
by sophur
Show Item lets a player display the item in their hand or armor slots in the game chat, so other players can see it.
What it does
A player who types a chat command can post the item they are holding into the chat as a clickable line, and the other players see the item name and its enchantments. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for the game versions 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest build for 26.2 is 1.1.0. Fabric API is required.
Released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, the code is open source, and its source and issue tracker are public. Players can announce worn armor and recent advancements in the same way.
