Better Item Names

by SrSub · on Modrinth

Simple Texture Pack which enhances item names by making them use the corresponding blocks texture (English US REQUIRED TO CHOOSE AS THE LANGUAGE)

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.20–26.1.2Newest
Minecraft 1.7.3–1.8.9

⬇ Download for 1.20–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.7.3–1.8.9

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Wont update unless Minecraft switches on Major updates again!

A texture pack to make item name colors match the item's color!

❗READ BEFORE USING❗

Compatible with most other packs which alter language files(has to be placed as the last to not alter anything)

I will not do every single items FULL NAME(for example copper states) for pretty obvious reasons

I will also NOT edit other languages for also pretty obvious reasons

Unfixable Stuff

Searchers like the recipe book or the creative search are NOT working due to how they and the pack work (by using stuff in the lang file)

Jade is currently(and probably forever) incompatible for the same reason as other mods are incompatible(because it uses the lang file,duh)
