About Chat Item Icons (Experimental)

Displays item icons in chat messages for shared items.

Why Resource Pack? As a server-side mod, we use Minecraft's custom font system to render icons.

Setup:

  1. Generate resource pack at IconifyCraft
  2. Host the pack on a web server
  3. Enable in config/showcase/config.yml: itemIcons.enabled = true
  4. Add to server.properties:
    resource-pack=<your-hosted-pack-url>
    resource-pack-sha1=<pack-sha1-hash>
    require-resource-pack=true
    

Config Options:

itemIcons:
  enabled: false                    # Enable/disable icons
  fontNamespace: "iconifycraft"     # Resource pack namespace
  includeInItemNames: true          # Show icons in item names

⚠Warning: Experimental feature. Current support for displaying blocks, including chests and ender chests, is incomplete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Showcase server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Showcase compatible with fabric and quilt?

Showcase officially supports fabric, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Showcase – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Showcase consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
