Visuals and performance

Rarity visuals can be tuned independently from gameplay. Lowering visual complexity does not change stored rolls, stats, or perks.

Full presentation

showCustomBorders = true
enableChromaTextEffects = true
enableAnimatedBorders = true
borderRenderMode = "FULL"

Uses rarity-themed tooltip decoration, particles, glow, animated high-tier slot borders, and chroma text.

Balanced

showCustomBorders = true
enableChromaTextEffects = true
enableAnimatedBorders = false
borderRenderMode = "SIMPLE"

Keeps clear rarity frames and animated text while reducing decorative rendering.

Static

showCustomBorders = true
enableChromaTextEffects = false
enableAnimatedBorders = false
borderRenderMode = "STATIC"

Uses plain static tier colors and frames.

Minimal

showCustomBorders = false
enableChromaTextEffects = false
colorItemNames = true
showRarityInTooltip = true

Keeps colored names and the rarity line without custom border rendering.

Border mode details

Mode Tooltip Inventory and hotbar
FULL Full rarity theme; animated when enabled Detailed tier frames; high tiers animate
SIMPLE Simple static decoration Framed slots with lighter detail
STATIC Plain rarity treatment Plain static frames
OFF Vanilla border No custom frames

showCustomBorders = false and borderRenderMode = "OFF" both disable custom border presentation.

Chroma speed

rainbowSpeed = 1500.0

Valid range: 100.0 to 10000.0 milliseconds. Lower values cycle faster. The setting controls every chroma type, including green/white, cyan/white, blue/white, black/white, and red/black—not only Legendary rainbow.

Separate visibility from effects

  • showRarityInTooltip hides or shows only the rarity line.
  • colorItemNames controls the item name presentation.
  • showAttributeBonuses hides both stat lines and the Utility Perks tooltip section. It does not by itself disable all effects.
  • applyAttributeModifiers disables equipment bonuses and also gates Break Efficiency/custom mining-speed bonuses.
  • Other utility perks have separate action paths and can remain active.

Client and server consistency

Most visual settings live in the common TOML and are not included in Item Rarity's JSON sync packet. Distribute matching TOML settings when a modpack should present the same style and multiplier text to every player.

Restart clients and the server after changing TOML values.
