Shadow Drop Mod adds dark shadows behind the items in your menus. This mod gives a 3D pop to the things inside your hotbar, inventory, and advancement screens. It makes flat icons look like they sit slightly above the background.

Features:

- Offsets the shadow by one pixel to the bottom and right for a clean look.
- Crops the shadows perfectly so they stay inside their specific item slots.
- Makes shadows lighter or darker depending on the item, giving blocks like glass a more transparent shadow.
- Doubles the number of items drawn on your screen, which might lower your frames per second if you open a massive chest.

shadowdrop-client.tomlfile. - Adjust the
slotBrColorssetting if you use resource packs that change the color of inventory slots. - Turn off
