About this Mod

Shadow Drop is a client-side mod that adds subtle drop shadows to items in GUIs, at a small cost to performance.

Shadows are highly configurable through the generated config file, or through a clearer config menu if YACL is installed, such as:

Shadow color, opacity, and position
Where to show or hide shadows
Where to crop shadows to fit inside slot borders
Which items have a weaker or no shadow

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Shadow Drop need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Shadow Drop 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 Shadow Drop require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Shadow Drop 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.
