HighlightRender: Inventory and Hotbar Item Highlighting

HighlightRender visualizes priority gear and valuables inside containers and storage grids using colored tile backgrounds. Players configure custom rules to distinguish weapons, tools, and enchanted books at a glance during inventory sorting and combat management.

Interface toggles and color rendering

The configuration menu is accessed by selecting "Open Settings" to reach "HighlightRender Settings". Here, toggling "Enable Mod" activates the visual background renderer across containers. Players can selectively decide where tints appear by toggling "Render in Hotbar" for immediate situational awareness during fights and "Render in Inventory" for chest and backpack sorting.

Visual styling is handled via background tinting. Clicking the "Background Color" swatch opens the integrated RGB color picker to assign distinct color values to highlighted slots. To keep slot visibility clear while browsing stacked items, the "Transparency ()" slider adjusts the opacity level of the background wash so slot borders and item counts remain easily legible.

Setting item and enchantment rules

Custom sorting definitions are constructed through rule lists. Players add target gear through "Item Entry", populating the active "Item List" by registering the relevant "Item ID". This allows quick flagging of consumables, ender pearls, or healing potions.

Magical gear receives dedicated treatment through separate rule sets. Creating an "Enchantment Entry" within the "Enchantment List" matches items based on their attached "Enchantment ID". This highlights high-tier weapons, armor pieces, and enchanted books directly in crowded loot chests, ensuring valuable enchantments are never overlooked.
