Inspecting Animated Glint Effects on Held Items

Equipping Gear in Hand

The visual enhancements from Enchanted Covers apply not only to inventory icons but also to held items rendered in your character's hands.

1. Open your inventory and drag an enchanted book, tool, or weapon into your hotbar.

2. Select the hotbar slot to hold the item in your main hand.

3. Alternatively, place an enchanted item into your off-hand slot (shield slot).

4. Observe the held model in first-person view. The animated overlay provides a more vivid, tactile glint across the cover and surface of the item.

Checking Third-Person Appearance

You can check how the enhanced glint appears from an external perspective while exploring or preparing gear.

1. Press F5 (or your bound perspective key) to toggle to third-person view.

2. Rotate your camera around your character to view the held enchanted book or tool.

3. Note how the shimmering overlay catches the light and draws attention to your equipped gear, confirming that the pack is functioning properly on in-world item models.
