Waxed Icons

by dhyces

Waxed Icons places a small icon on block items that have been waxed, so players can tell waxed copper blocks apart at a glance in the inventory.

What it does

Waxed blocks look the same as their unwaxed versions in an inventory slot. This mod draws a small wax icon on the item sprite of each waxed block, which makes the difference visible without opening a tooltip. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. Its icon rendering is built on the Trimmed library, which must be installed alongside it on every loader. Files exist for 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.21, across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

Key features

  1. Wax icon on block items

    A small wax icon is drawn on waxed block items in the inventory, slot and hotbar.

  2. Quality-of-life focus

    The mod changes only the item display of waxed blocks and leaves gameplay and recipes untouched.

  3. Resource-based icon list

    Which items receive the icon is set through a Trimmed tag file, so a resource pack can add more block items to the list.

What the author says

This is a simple QOL mod that adds a small icon on waxed blocks! This is done using Trimmed's client-tags, so if you want to add items to render the icon all you need to do is create a resource pack with assets/waxedicons/trimmed/tags/item/renders_waxed_icon.json and add the items to it like you would with a regular…
