About this Mod
Showoff
Terraria-style item chatting
This mod was originally just a random 3am thought:
It'd be cool if I could chat items like in Terraria
Many desk-slamming sessions later, we finally have it:
A vanilla-style way to chat items

Using this mod
It's really simple, actually. After you have this mod and it's dependencies installed, just type [i] into the ingame chat.
The item that is being held in your main hand will be inserted into the chat!
Dependencies
- Any recent version of fabric api
Notes
This mod must be installed on both the client, and the server in order to achieve full functionality.
Without the mod being installed on the server, players will just see "[i]" in chat
Without the mod being installed on the client, players will see a regular message without the item preview
This mod modifies client messages containing "[i]", causing the game to flag them as "insecure"

Showoff server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Showoff compatible with fabric?
Showoff officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Showoff – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Showoff consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
