About this Mod

Added in 1.0, item filtering. Don't highlight what you don't want to pick up. Bye bye Rotten Flesh!

Be sure you've picked up all the sand you just mined out.
No more losing items because they fell behind something.
Dropped your pickaxe when you were running from that creeper? This will make it easier to get back.
Item Radar shows drops off-screen

Drop Highlighter adds an outline to item entities so you can see them more clearly. This is especially helpful when items might fall behind something, get carried away by water, or when the item matches the background too closely (I'm talking to you, SAND).

You can disable the highlights with the o key, but why would you want to.

Now supports 1.20.1 through 26.1
