Loot Mate Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on item beams for dropped loot?
Item beams are enabled by default when you install the mod. If you don't see them, open the configuration menu and verify that beam highlighting is toggled on, then adjust the beam brightness or color if needed.
Can I stop certain items from showing beams?
Yes—rename items on an anvil with the tag `noBeam` and they won't display light beams when dropped. You can combine this with other custom tags like color codes or quantity numbers.
What does the hotbar alert do?
The hotbar alert sends you a chat message when better equipment is available in your inventory or nearby chests but not equipped in your hotbar, helping you swap to superior gear during combat.
How do I create a custom item set?
Place the items you want to track into your inventory in a creative world, then type `/LootMate customsets add ` in chat to save that set. The mod will then recognize and highlight those items.
Can I save different mod settings for different playstyles?
Yes—adjust your settings in the configuration menu, then type `/LootMate configsets add ` to save that profile. Load any saved profile later with `/LootMate configsets load `.
What do the 'N' and 'S' icons mean on food items?
The 'N' icon marks foods with top nutrition value, and the 'S' icon marks foods with top saturation, making it easy to identify the best food for your situation at a glance.
Does the mod work with both old and new combat systems?
Yes—Loot Mate calculates weapon DPS and armor ratings correctly for both legacy and modern combat mechanics, so your stats display accurately regardless of your Minecraft version.
How do I track when I'm running low on building blocks or food?
Use the low supply tracking feature in the mod's configuration to set thresholds for blocks, wood, food, totels, and shields. The mod will alert you when your inventory drops below those limits.
Can I change the color of item beams?
Yes—rename items with hex color codes on an anvil (for example, `#FF5733`) and the beams will display in that color when the item drops.
Why aren't chest highlights showing up inside containers?
Make sure chest highlighting is enabled in your configuration settings. If it's on but still not working, verify that the items in the chest match your custom item sets or are superior gear compared to what you're wearing.
