Visible Wielditem

Shows wielded items in-world.

Features

Modern alternative to wield3d:

  • Relies less on deprecated engine APIs, doesn't aim to support older MT versions
  • Supports colored items. Works well with epidermis.
  • Supports glow (for environmental lighting use a wielded light mod)
  • Indicates size of stacks
  • Provides a proper API for mods to use
  • Rotates the model instead of the texture

    A nice touch to improve games aesthetic

    Thanks to Visible Wielditem, players in my server can now instantly tell what someone is holding. And they can do it in all its fanciness, since the mod allows me to render the 3D item instead of the inventory icon. Nice job!

    Nice to have

    It's great to see the item a player is holding displayed. I also like to use it in singleplayer worlds for the few times I use 3rd person view, because it's just a nice to have feature. Maybe I prefer the visualization of blocks in wield3d, but that's only an asthetic question. What is more important to me is that visible_wielditem runs more smoothly, why I prefer it over wield3d.

    So thank you for offering this great mod!
