Client / Server

This mod is fully client-side.

Configuration

By default, borders are not displayed for common items. This can be enabled with a configuration option. Optionally, borders can be disabled on the hotbar as well. Custom colors from Loot Beams mod can be synchronized as item borders with an option. Automatic borders can be disabled completely, and manual colors can be specified for items/tags with the following format:

[client.options.manual_borders]

<Color name or hex code> = <list of item paths or tags> OR <item path or tag>

For example:

[client.options.manual_borders]

FCC040 = ["minecraft:stick", "torch"]

green = "#forge:ores"

red = "oak_planks"

Compatibility

Should be fully compatible with modded items, and even modded item rarities. Let me know if you find something that doesn't work as expected!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Item Borders need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Item Borders as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Item Borders require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Item Borders is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
