Item Glow

A functional and highly customizable item HUD for Minecraft 1.21.1

What is Item Glow?

Item Glow is a client-side mod that displays essential information about the items in your hand directly on your HUD. Instead of opening your inventory to check durability or enchantment levels, I've made it so you can see everything at a glance with smooth animations and a clean design.

Key Features

🛡️ Combat Info & Durability See exactly how many uses are left on your tools and armor. I've included a color-coded bar and numerical values that update in real-time as you use your gear.

📜 Enchantment & Effect Cycling If an item has multiple enchantments or potion effects, the HUD cycles through them automatically. It keeps the screen uncluttered while making sure you know exactly what you're holding.

🍎 Food & Utility Data Holding food? You'll see nutrition and saturation values. Holding a painting? You'll see its size and variant before placing it. I've added support for many special items like Golden Apples and Suspicious Stews.

Customization

I wanted this mod to fit any UI style, so almost everything is configurable via Cloth Config and Mod Menu:

• Positioning: Move the HUD to any corner or center it.
• Appearance: Adjust scale, background transparency, and text colors.
• Animations: Custom slide and fade effects for item switching.
• Visibility: Toggle individual elements on or off to suit your needs.

For Developers

I've designed Item Glow to be a platform for other modders. If you're building a mod and want your custom item data to show up in my HUD, you can use the built-in provider system.

Integration API

To add your own data to the HUD, simply add a new provider to the ItemGlowApi.PROVIDERS list. Here's how you can do it:

// Registering a custom data provider
ItemGlowApi.PROVIDERS.add(stack -> {
    if (stack.getItem() instanceof ManaWand) {
        return List.of(new ItemGlowApi.TooltipLine(
            Text.literal("Mana: 50/100"), 
            0x55FFFF, // Color
            100       // Priority
        ));
    }
    return null;
});

Why Integrate?

Zero UI Conflict: Your data renders in a style consistent with the rest of the HUD. User Preference: Users can scale, move, and toggle your data just like native elements. Efficiency: I've optimized the rendering engine to ensure minimal impact on performance.

Full details are available in my API Documentation.
