Visual Swap
by PatchNote
Visual Swap shows attribute swaps on screen as they happen, including the result of each swap and any chained swaps that follow.
What it does
When a player performs an attribute swap, the mod gives realtime feedback on screen. A status indicator sits below the hotbar and reports when a swap is possible, when it has been performed successfully, and how many consecutive swaps have been chained together. Double and triple swap chains are shown as they build, so a player can follow the sequence without counting it by hand.
Feedback can be tuned in the configuration. Particle effects for a successful swap can be turned on or off, and the clicked item can be highlighted for a set number of ticks. The mod does not change how attribute swapping works; it only makes the existing mechanic easier to read. Its files target 1.21.11 – 26.3 and it requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, with Mod Menu optional for opening its settings. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved, with public links to the source code and issue tracker.
