✨ Features

⚔️ Instant Loot Drops

No more waiting for death animations to finish before collecting your rewards.

• ⚡ Drop Delay: Loot drops after just 0.05 seconds.
• 💀 Persistent Corpses: Bodies remain visible for 60 seconds, so you can still see your kills.
• 🧲 Improved Auto-Pickup: Automatically collects nearby loot after a 1-second delay, within a 2.5-meter radius.
• 📦 Stacked Loot Notifications: See everything you've collected in one compact window instead of watching vanilla's one-item-at-a-time messages.
• 🔢 Item Stacking: Identical items combine into a single line, such as Wood x14.
• 🎯 Animated Notifications: Loot entries slide in, pop, and fade away.

🖥️ Custom Loot Notification Window

A compact 250 × 120 loot panel, positioned in the bottom-right corner by default.

Designed to stay readable without unnecessary visual clutter, the window uses configurable text colors and outlines, with borders disabled by default.

Customize the display to suit your HUD:

• 📍 Corner Placement: Choose BottomRight, BottomLeft, TopRight, or TopLeft.
• ↔️ Position: Adjust WindowX and WindowY offsets.
• 📐 Window Size: Customize width and height.
• 🌫️ Opacity: Adjust panel transparency.
• 🔠 Font Size: Change text size and accommodate larger item counts.
• ⏳ Notification Duration: Control how long each entry remains visible.
• 🖼️ Borders: Toggle the panel border on or off.
• 🎨 Text Styling: Customize item names, quantities, and outline colors.
• 🔔 Vanilla Messages: Disable the custom window to restore vanilla pickup notifications.
