Plugin ShowItem

ShowItem, display held items in chat

ShowItem is a lightweight plugin for a Java Edition Minecraft server running Paper or Purpur. It lets players announce the item currently held in their hand through a simple chat command, making trades, rewards, equipment checks, and social interactions easier to understand.

The plugin also supports displaying worn armor, with commands dedicated to the hand, helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. MiniMessage and legacy color codes help administrators customize messages, while the showitem.use permission controls access. Designed for Minecraft 1.19 through 1.21.x, it adds a practical social feature without changing core gameplay. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for communities that want clearer, more interactive chat on their Minecraft server.
