Does the shimmer effect work on enchanted armor and tools when I'm holding them?

Yes, the mod applies the enhanced glint overlay to held items as well, making enchanted gear shimmer visibly in first-person view.

Will this resource pack work with my Minecraft version?

Enchanted Covers supports modern versions of Minecraft; check the mod's download page for the specific versions it's compatible with, as older or newer snapshots may not be supported.

How do I tell enchanted items apart from regular ones now?

Enchanted items display a more prominent and animated shimmer effect on their icons and when held, making them instantly recognizable compared to unenchanted gear.

Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?

The visual enhancements are lightweight and should have minimal impact on performance, though very low-end systems may notice a slight difference when viewing many enchanted items at once.

Can I use this in multiplayer or on servers?

Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can use Enchanted Covers on any server without needing permission or affecting other players.

What if the enchanted glint isn't showing on some of my items?

Verify those items are actually enchanted in-game, check that conflicting resource packs aren't overriding the textures, and ensure the resource pack is fully loaded by restarting your world.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't my enchanted books look different after installing the mod?

Make sure the resource pack is enabled in your resource pack menu and placed above any conflicting packs in the load order. If you're still not seeing the effect, try closing and reopening your inventory or reloading the world.

Does this mod change how enchantments work or affect gameplay?

No, Enchanted Covers is purely visual—it only enhances the appearance of enchanted items without altering their functionality, stats, or mechanics.

Can I use this with other resource packs?

Yes, but place Enchanted Covers higher in your resource pack list than packs that also modify item textures to avoid conflicts. Test in-game to confirm the shimmer effect displays correctly.

The enchanted glint looks too subtle or too intense for me—can I adjust it?

You can customize the intensity by editing the resource pack files directly, though this requires some familiarity with texture and JSON editing. Check the mod's documentation or community guides for specific customization steps.
