Locating Hidden Drops in Trees and Flowing Water

Spotting Items Trapped in Foliage

Chopping trees or fighting mobs often causes loot and blocks to get caught inside leaves or wedged behind obstacles where they cannot normally be seen.

1. Ensure the mod's highlight feature is toggled on by pressing O.

2. Look up into the canopy of any recently harvested trees. Bright highlights will reveal hidden items resting inside tree leaves, showing you their exact positions even when fully obscured by leaf blocks.

3. Break the surrounding foliage to collect the trapped gear.

Tracking Items Washed Away by Water

Accidental deaths or explosions near underground springs can sweep your possessions away down dark tunnels.

1. Follow the path of any moving water streams in the area.

2. Watch for bright glowing borders along the floor of water channels. The mod highlights dropped items swept along the current or tucked behind submerged obstacles.

3. Check corners, drop-offs, and recessed wall blocks where water flow pushes items out of direct line of sight.

4. If you have trouble seeing outlines, press O to confirm the effect has not been toggled off.
