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.

Shadow Drop Mod

Features:

  • Adds a small, see-through shadow behind every item in your inventory.
  • 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.

Configuration:

  • Change settings inside the shadowdrop-client.toml file.
  • Adjust the slotBrColors setting if you use resource packs that change the color of inventory slots.
  • Turn off use-batched-renderer if you play with the EMI mod.
  • Disable hud_batching when running the ImmediatelyFast mod.
  • Turn off gui_acceleration if you have Accelerated Rendering installed.
