About this project
What does Z80Z Loot Beam add?
A client-side mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge 47.3.0+, Java 17): renders rarity-colored beams, glows, name labels and item tooltips above dropped loot. No third-party dependencies, compatible with vanilla rendering, and specially handled for shader packs.
Features
- 7 beam styles: classic beam, slim laser, soft fog pillar, tapered spire, helix ribbon, double helix, floating halo
- Rarity-based colors (common white / uncommon green / rare blue / epic pink / enchanted purple), overridable per item, tag or mod
- Beam fade-in, close-range fade-out, tip fade; shorter beams for common loot; breathing and rotating animations
- Ground glow and halo with independently adjustable radius
- Dropped-item labels: beam-colored, optional stack count, background border, scale and offset, "only while looking at it" mode
- Full item tooltip when sneaking at a drop
- New-drop sound with its own sound blacklist
- Graphical config screen in English / Chinese (follows the client language), hover help on every option
- Filters: whitelist / blacklist (items, tags, mods), equipment-only, rare-only, max render distance
- Performance: per-entity rule & label caching, single pass per frame, frustum culling, squared-distance checks
Install
Drop z80z-loot-beam-forge-1.20.1-<version>.jar into .minecraft/mods. Client side only. Upgrading from the old Loot Beams Lite: delete loot-beams-lite-*.jar and rename config/lootbeamslite-client.toml to config/z80z_loot_beam-client.toml to keep your settings.
Usage
- Press
Bin game to toggle the effects - Mod list → Z80Z Loot Beam → Config for the graphical settings
- Config file:
config/z80z_loot_beam-client.toml
Rendering notes
Without shaders the mod uses a custom render type with the vanilla position-color shader (additive blending). Shader packs take over the world shaders and bleach or darken beams, so with shaders enabled the beams are drawn through the pack's particle pass: gradients go into a gradient texture, vertex alpha stays at 1, and the texture color is kept slightly off pure white so packs don't rewrite the colors.

MIT (see LICENSE). Gameplay design was inspired by the Loot Beams mod; this is an independent, dependency-free reimplementation — all code, textures, lang entries, config structure and naming are original, and the repository contains no code or assets from the original mod.

- Forge 47.3.0 或更高
- 仅客户端安装(服务器不需要装)
安装
把 z80z-loot-beam-forge-1.20.1-<版本>.jar 放进 .minecraft/mods。
从旧的 Loot Beams Lite 升级时:删除 loot-beams-lite-*.jar,并把 config/lootbeamslite-client.toml 重命名为 config/z80z_loot_beam-client.toml(模组 ID 变了,配置文件也跟着换名),原有设置就会保留。
使用
- 游戏内按
B即时开关光效 - 模组列表 → Z80Z Loot Beam → 配置,打开图形界面(每个设置悬停都有说明)
- 配置文件:
config/z80z_loot_beam-client.toml
从源码构建
需要 JDK 17,项目自带 Gradle Wrapper:
./gradlew build
产物位于 build/libs/z80z-loot-beam-forge-1.20.1-<版本>.jar。
渲染说明
- 关光影:自建渲染类型配原版位置-颜色着色器,加色混合绘制同心光壳与地面光环。
- 开光影:光影包会接管世界着色器。通用方块程序会把光柱漂白并抖动低透明度像素,信标光柱程序会把颜色平方后交给光照阶段(变黑),闪电程序会直接覆盖顶点色。因此光柱改走光影包的粒子通道:所有渐变量放进渐变贴图(贴图 UV 在所有程序里都是平滑插值的),顶点 alpha 固定为 1、贴图颜色略偏离纯白,避免被识别为烟雾 / 雪 / 岩浆粒子改写颜色。

参考与致谢
功能设计参考了同类模组 Loot Beams(掉落物光柱、稀有度着色、名称与潜行提示框等玩法), 目的是给不方便安装该模组前置的玩家一个功能等价、无依赖的替代实现。
代码、贴图、语言文本、配置结构与命名均为本项目原创:配置键使用 camelCase 分组结构, 渐变贴图为程序生成,渲染管线(多层同心光壳、锥形、螺旋光带、双螺旋、浮空光环 + 光影下的粒子通道方案) 为本项目实现。仓库中不含原模组的任何代码、贴图或文本。
