Description
A subtle client-side mod that adds drop shadows beneath items in GUIs, adding depth to the hotbar, inventory screens, advancements, etc. By default, shadows are translucent, offset by one pixel down/right, and cropped to fit within item slots.
⚠ As shadows effectively double the number of items rendered in GUIs, expect a performance tradeoff, especially when many items are visible at once.
Shadows can be configured via the generated shadowdrop-client.toml file.
Note: for cropping shadows, item slots are detected using the color of the pixel to the bottom right of each item. Adjust
slotBrColorsfor compatibility with resource packs or modded GUIs where this pixel is not #FFFFFF.
⚠ Mods that may need configuration for proper compatibility:
- EMI: disable
use-batched-renderer - ImmediatelyFast: disable
hud_batching - Accelerated Rendering: disable
gui_acceleration
