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.
