Item Pickup Feed

## Know what you just picked up

You blow up a creeper in a cave, run through the drops and... did you get that diamond? How many arrows did that skeleton farm give you? In vanilla you have to open your inventory and search.

**Item Pickup Notifier** shows a short line at the side of the screen for everything that lands in your inventory, with the item icon, the amount and the name. Keep picking up the same item and the number counts up on the same line.

## Features

- **Pickup feed** - "+12 Oak Log", "+1 Diamond", "+7 Experience" with the real item icon.
- **Adds up** - picking up more of the same item updates the existing line instead of spamming new ones.
- **Smooth animation** - lines slide in from the screen edge and slide out after a few seconds.
- **Rarity colors** - names use the item's rarity color; renamed items show in italics.
- **Experience too** - XP orbs show as one combined "+N Experience" line (can be turned off).
- **Arrows and tridents** - picking them back up from the ground is shown as well.
- **Your choice of corner** - any screen corner, with custom distance from the edge and size.
- **Optional total** - show how many you now have in total: "+12 Oak Log (140)".
- **Only real pickups** - crafting, moving items around or creative-menu items don't show up; only what you actually pick up from the world.
- **Hides with F1** - like the rest of the HUD.

## Settings

The file `config/itempickupnotifier.properties` is created on first launch. Edit it with a text editor while the game is closed:

- `enabled` - feed on or off (default: true)
- `corner` - top_left, top_right, bottom_left or bottom_right (default: bottom_right)
- `offsetX` / `offsetY` - distance from the screen edge (default: 6 / 6)
- `displaySeconds` - how long a line stays (default: 5)
- `maxEntries` - maximum lines at once (default: 6)
- `showExperience` - show XP pickups (default: true)
- `showTotal` - show your total amount after the name (default: false)
- `background` - dark box behind each line (default: true)
- `scale` - size of the feed, 0.5 - 2.0 (default: 1.0)

No key bindings - nothing to set up and no conflicts with other mods.

## Works on servers

This is a **client-side only** mod. The server already tells every player when an item is picked up (that's what plays the little "fly into the player" animation), and this mod just shows that information as a list. It works in singleplayer, on Realms and on any multiplayer server, with nothing installed on the server. It only shows your own pickups.

## Requirements

- Minecraft 1.21 / 1.21.1
- Fabric Loader 0.16 or newer

## Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Put **Fabric API** and **Item Pickup Notifier** in your `mods` folder.

## Honest limitations

- Items that go straight into your inventory without being picked up from the ground (crafting, villager trades, /give, items taken out of chests) are not shown - only real pickups.
- If your inventory is full, nothing is picked up, so nothing is shown.
- In the bottom-right corner the feed can overlap vanilla's subtitles (an accessibility option that is off by default). Move the feed with `corner` if you use subtitles.
- Mods that put picked-up items somewhere else (backpacks, auto-void) may still show the pickup, because the server reports it as a pickup.
- The settings are in a config file; there is no in-game settings screen yet.
