About this project
What does Shadow Drop add?
Shadow Drop is a client-side mod that adds subtle drop shadows to items in GUIs, at a small cost to performance.
Shadows are highly configurable through the generated config file, or through a clearer config menu if YACL is installed, such as:
- Shadow color, opacity, and position
- Where to show or hide shadows
- Where to crop shadows to fit inside slot borders
- Which items have a weaker or no shadow
