Showcase Item in FTB Skies 2

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Showcase Item lets you show off an item from your inventory in chat. If you've found something rare, built something special, or just want to ask a friend about an item, you can post it for everyone to see instead of describing it.^[1]

It's a small quality-of-life mod, and it's most useful if you play on a server or with friends. The pack includes version 1.18.2-1.0.^[1][2]

How to use it

Open your inventory, hover over the item, and press Shift + X. That's the default keybind, so you can change it in your controls if it clashes with something else.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

Showcase Item adds no progression content that the sources describe. It's a chat utility you can use from the start.^[1]

Unverified Whether this mod has any place on the ATM Star path, or in any quests or in-game guidebook, isn't confirmed by the sources I have, so treat it as a standalone chat tool.

Good news: Showcase Item doesn't give you anything to craft or grind for. It's a small quality-of-life mod that lets you show off an item from your inventory in chat, so your first step is simply learning the shortcut.^[1]

Showcasing your first item

1. Open your inventory and find the item you want to show off, like a freshly enchanted tool or a rare drop.^[1]
2. Click the item while pressing Shift + X, which is the default keybind. The item then shows up in chat for everyone to see.^[1]
3. If the shortcut doesn't work, check your controls menu. The Shift + X binding is the mod's default, and the sources don't say whether this pack changed it.^[1]

Unverified No recipes or quests for this mod were found in the sources for this pack, so there is no crafting order to follow. Whether the pack changed the default keybind is also unconfirmed.

Good news: this mod is simple. It has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation. It does one thing, which is letting you showcase an item from your inventory in chat so other players can see what you're holding.^[1]

Config

The mod has a single option in this pack's common config. renderItemsInChat is set to true, which is the setting for rendering showcased items in chat.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't say what happens when renderItemsInChat is false, whether the pack changed that value from the mod's default, or how to rebind the showcase key beyond the Shift + X default.

Good news: Showcase Item is a tiny mod, and this pack only exposes one option in its common config file. You don't have to dig through pages of settings here.^[3]

The option is renderItemsInChat, labelled "Render Items in Chat" in the file. In this pack it is set to true, so items you showcase are rendered in chat.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't say what the mod's own default for this option is, so it's unverified whether the pack changed it. All we can confirm is that the pack ships it as true.

FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 ships Showcase Item 1.21.1-1.1.0. The mod has been in the pack since FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 or earlier, so it's a long-time resident.^[4]

Showcase Item 1.21.1-1.1.0

This is the version you're running, and its changelog lists two fixes:^[4][5]

• A showcased item in chat sometimes failed to render when chat wasn't open and many mods were present. That's fixed, which matters in a big modpack like this one.^[5]
• Fixed items could not be shared in the creative menu. That's fixed too.^[5]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for Showcase Item were available, so any changes between earlier pack releases are unverified.
