ItemBeacon
ItemBeacon makes dropped items easy to find by rendering customizable beacon beams and lightweight particles above them.
Features
- Completely client-side
no server installation or custom network packets required
- Depth-aware rendering
beacon beams stay hidden behind walls instead of acting like X-ray
- Flexible filters
show beacons by rarity, item category, stack count, or a custom item list
- Custom colors
configure colors for each rarity or individual registered items
- Customizable beams
adjust length, inner and outer thickness, opacity, and smooth tip fading
- Two particle styles
rising and wisp particles with adjustable amount, speed, size, and color
- Built-in texture editor
create, import, export, rename, and manage custom beam and particle masks
- Performance controls
configurable render distance, tracked-item limit, particle limit, and frustum culling
Configuration
Press B by default to open the ItemBeacon settings screen.
The settings screen is provided by Simple GUI API and includes dedicated tabs for general settings, display conditions, beacon layers, particles, textures, and individual items.
Requirements
- Simple GUI API 1.5.2 or newer
- A supported Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge client
ItemBeacon and Simple GUI API only need to be installed on the client. They are not required on the server.
