Description
Smart Item Highlight
Smart Item Highlight is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that makes finding matching items inside storage screens easier.
When you pick up an item with your cursor, every other occurrence of that item is covered with a translucent light-green overlay. Matching items are highlighted in both the open container and your own inventory.
Features
- Highlights every matching occurrence of the held item
- Highlights items in both the container and player inventory
- Works with the hotbar
- Activates automatically when an item is attached to the cursor
- Uses a subtle translucent light-green overlay
- Matches items by item type
- Fully client-side
- No commands, configuration or keybinds required
Supported Screens
Smart Item Highlight works with standard Minecraft container screens, including:
- Chests
- Double chests
- Barrels
- Shulker boxes
- Hoppers
- Dispensers
- Droppers
- Other standard inventory-based container screens
Support for modded storage screens may depend on how those screens are implemented.
Requirements
- Minecraft 26.2
- Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
The mod only needs to be installed on the player's client. It does not need to be installed on the server.
Installation
- Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2.
- Download and install Fabric API.
- Download the latest Smart Item Highlight
.jarfile. - Place the
.jarfile inside your Minecraftmodsfolder. - Launch Minecraft using the Fabric profile.
On Windows, the default Minecraft mods folder is usually:
%appdata%\.minecraft\mods
Usage
- Open a supported container.
- Pick up an item so it is attached to your cursor.
- Every other slot containing the same item will be highlighted.
- Place the item back into a slot to remove the highlights.
No setup is required.
Item Matching
Items are matched by their item type.
This means the mod currently ignores differences such as:
- Stack size
- Durability
- Custom names
- Enchantments
- Other item data
For example, holding one diamond pickaxe will highlight other diamond pickaxes, even when they have different durability or enchantments.
