Mark dropped loot and see item details in chat
Pinging items on the ground
Look directly at a dropped item stack and use your ping hotkey or /ping command. The marker will highlight that item with a glowing aura so your team can spot it easily.
Item information displayed
When you ping a dropped item, the chat message includes:
- The item's name and rarity
- Any enchantments applied to it
- The stack count of that specific item
- Exact coordinates where it lies
Counting nearby items
If item counting is enabled, the mod can also report how many of the same item type are lying nearby within a configurable search distance. This helps you quickly assess whether it's worth traveling to collect loot. The marker will flash briefly before it despawns, giving you a final visual cue.
