About this project
What does Better Item Borders add?
his mod builds upon the original idea by adding dynamic potion borders and instant visual cues for a clearer inventory experience.
- 🌈 Potion Border Highlights: Highlights potions and tipped arrows in your inventory with customizable glowing borders for duration (Extended) and potency (Enhanced ⭐).
⏱️ Universal Duration Standards To maximize combat clarity and cross-mod compatibility, extended borders use strict, universal time thresholds:
🧪 Regular / Splash Potions: > 3min
💨 Lingering Potions: > 45sec
🏹 Tipped Arrows: >22.5sec
(💡 Short-base potions such as extended Regeneration, Poison, and Turtle Master intentionally do not trigger the border to maintain a uniform, time-based standard across all mods!)
