Filtering Unwanted Junk from Item Highlights

Managing Highlighted Drops

By default, the mod outlines dropped item entities so you never misplace your loot. However, farming mobs or clearing areas can leave the ground covered in clutter. The custom item filtering feature lets you decide exactly which items should display glowing outlines.

1. Open your filter settings to view your current list of tracked items.

2. Adjust your filter list to include the tools, gear, and valuable blocks you want highlighted.

3. Specify junk items that you wish to ignore, such as rotten flesh or common mob drops, so they no longer generate bright outlines on the ground.

4. Save your adjustments and return to the game.

Testing Your Filter Rules

To make sure your filter list is working as expected:

  • Toss a valuable tool or piece of gear onto the floor; it should immediately display a bright, clear outline.
  • Toss a filtered junk item like rotten flesh onto the ground beside it; the junk item should remain without an outline.
  • If an item you want to track fails to light up, verify that highlighting is toggled on with O and confirm that the item is properly included on your filter list.
