VaultLootBeams

VaultLootBeams is a fork of an earlier loot beam mod, modified for VaultHunters 3rd Edition, and it exposes many settings. Beams can be limited to a chosen distance, which the config accepts from 0 to 1024 blocks with a default of 24. A ground requirement makes beams appear only for items lying on the floor, and beam radius and height are adjustable, with a radius of 0 to 5 and a height capped at 10.

Whether an item gets a beam depends on a render whitelist and blacklist of item lists, a render condition that decides automatically from item properties, and a whitelist of color overrides. Items with a color override are treated as whitelisted, so their beam is drawn. Developers can add their own logic through an interface with the methods shouldRenderBeam and getBeamColor, or register a LootBeamHolder through LootBeamHolderRegistry instead of implementing the interface directly.

The mod is client-side only, so only the player needs it and a server can run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code and issue tracker are public. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency that adds a settings screen for the options above.
