Loot Beams Reforged

Loot Beams Reforged

Renders highly configurable colored beams on dropped items!

An updated, multi-platform port of Loot Beams Up, bringing colorful and customizable loot beams to modern Minecraft versions so the mod doesn’t stay stuck in 1.21.1. (This fork was created prior to the license change and the release of the new, obfuscated versions of Loot Beams Up; to be precise, as mentioned above, it was based on version 3.6.1)

📖 Description

Loot Beams Reforged is a client-side mod that adds a beam of light to every dropped item, making your loot impossible to miss. Each beam is fully customizable: its color can follow the item’s name or rarity, and you can fine-tune nearly every aspect of the beam, the nametag, the particles, and the ground glow.

Because it’s client-side only, it works on vanilla servers and on any server that doesn’t have the mod installed — just drop it into your mods folder and your loot will light up.

This project is a faithful continuation of Loot Beams Up (itself a Fabric port of the original Loot Beams for Forge), modernized and ported to newer Minecraft versions and additional mod loaders.

🌟 Features

• Beams on every item : all dropped items get a colored beam by default.
• Smart colors : beams automatically pick a color based on the item’s name, rarity, or custom NBT overrides (lootbeams.color: "0xFFFFFF").
• Two render modes : the classic vertical Beam, or Droplight (inspired by the Droplights mod).
• Nametags & tooltips : see an item’s name by looking at it, crouching, on item frames, or in third-person view.
• Ground glow effects : customizable ground glows with custom textures and animated sprites (.mcmeta).
• Particles & trails : fully configurable particle trails with custom, animated particle textures.
• Custom rarities : define rarities with their own colors and effects via minecraft:custom_data, selectors, and translatable strings.
• Animated & gradient beams : animated beams plus gradient colors for both beams and ground glows.
• Shader support : works with Iris in both Loot beam and Droplight modes.
• Preset manager : save, load, and share your setups (Numpad 5 by default).
• Legendary Tooltips support : beams and tooltips integrate with Legendary Tooltips.
• Whitelist / blacklist : control exactly which items get beams.
• In-game config : configure everything through Mod Menu / Cloth Config.
• Zero server-side requirements : runs on vanilla servers.
