Item Highlighter Mod is a mod that simplifies identifying new items by displaying an animated star over them in the inventory. This feature is especially useful for players managing large amounts of items and wanting to locate the most recently acquired ones quickly. With this mod installed, players can customize its behavior through configuration options. These settings allow actions such as removing markers for new items when closing the inventory or hovering over them. Additionally, players can adjust the appearance of the icons to match item name colors or retain the default golden color.
