The most feature-rich and configurable pickup notifier available for Minecraft.

Loot Log is a highly customizable pickup notifier HUD for items and XP. Smart item stacking, live count updates, smooth animations, custom banner textures with animation support, per-item overrides, visual effects, filtering, extensive layout control, and EmbersTextAPI compatibility for rich text effects… all configurable down to the last detail.

Compatible with EmbersTextAPI for rich text effects in item names via per-item overrides: use tags like <rainbow>, color codes, and more to make specific pickups stand out.
