Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Item Borders Mod?
Launch the game once with the mod installed so it generates its config file in your .minecraft/configs folder. Open that file to see the built-in explanations, then add your first item and color entry to see a border appear in your inventory.
Where is the Item Borders config file located?
It lives in the .minecraft/configs folder alongside other mod configs. Open it with any text editor; every option is documented with comments right inside the file.
How do I add a border to a specific item?
In the config, map a color to the item's registry name, like "minecraft:stick", using the format the file's comments show. Save the file and reload or restart the game for the change to take effect.
Can I highlight a whole group of items at once instead of listing each one?
Yes, you can use item tags instead of individual item IDs, such as "#forge:ores", so every item in that tag gets the same border color. This is the easiest way to cover large categories without listing every item.
