Item Counts Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the item counter display?
The mod displays item counts by default in your hotbar once installed. If you don't see numbers on your items, check that the HUD is enabled in the mod's configuration settings.
Why does my counter show different numbers for the same item?
This happens when metadata checking is enabled—the mod treats items with different metadata (like tools with different durability) as separate types. Disable metadata checking in the config if you want all variants of an item counted together.
Can I hide the item count for specific items?
You can customize which items display counts by adjusting the display order settings in the mod's configuration, effectively hiding items you don't want to track by moving them out of the active display list.
What's the difference between horizontal and vertical display modes?
Horizontal mode stacks the item count numbers left-to-right across your hotbar, while vertical mode displays them top-to-bottom; choose whichever fits your screen layout better.
Does the mod count items in my ender chest or just my main inventory?
The mod only counts items in your main inventory and hotbar, not in containers like ender chests, shulker boxes, or other storage blocks.
Can I move the HUD display to a different corner of my screen?
Yes, the mod's configuration allows you to reposition the HUD display to different corners or areas of your screen depending on your preference and other mods' UI elements.
Does this mod work with enchanted items?
Yes, but if metadata checking is enabled, enchanted and non-enchanted versions of the same item will be counted separately; disable metadata checking to count them together.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance problems, as it only tracks inventory contents rather than world data.
How do I change the order items appear in the display?
Open the mod's configuration file and adjust the item order settings to rearrange which items are prioritized in the count display.
Does the counter update in real-time when I pick up or drop items?
Yes, the item counts update instantly as you collect, use, or drop items from your inventory.
