About Chat Item Icons (Experimental)

Why Resource Pack? As a server-side mod, we use Minecraft's custom font system to render icons.
Setup:
- Generate resource pack at IconifyCraft
- Host the pack on a web server
- Enable in
config/showcase/config.yml:itemIcons.enabled = true - 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.

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.
