Identify Your Gear Tier at a Glance

Use Sharper Outlines to Spot Tool Levels Fast

The resource pack redesigns every tool with distinct silhouettes so you can instantly recognize what tier you're holding—even in chaotic inventory situations. Each material from wood through netherite has its own visual signature.

In your inventory or hotbar:

  • Wooden and stone tools have clean, simple outlines with minimal shading
  • Iron gear shows stronger definition with clearer borders
  • Gold and diamond tools feature polished, reflective surfaces that catch light
  • Netherite equipment stands out immediately with its dark base metal and gold/diamond trim accents

Spot Netherite in Chests Instantly

When looting or organizing storage, netherite tools are now unmistakable. The gold and diamond color accents on the dark netherite base make them pop against other tiers. This is especially useful when sorting through mixed equipment or deciding what to bring on expeditions.

The improved inventory icons also help you quickly scan chest contents without hovering over individual items. Look for the distinctive dark-with-gold aesthetic to confirm you've found your endgame gear.
