Waxed Copper Indicators is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly resource pack that adds a small honeycomb badge to the corner of waxed copper items in the GUI (inventory, chests, recipes). Held and placed blocks retain their original appearance.
Version Note: This pack requires Minecraft 1.21.4 or newer since it utilizes the new item model to dynamically overlay the badge.
This pack references the game's current honeycomb texture. If you are using a custom resource pack, the badge will automatically adapt and match that pack's style.
With Vanilla textures

Several of the oxidized copper block icons in the menu feature a small, distinctive orange honeycomb badge in their top-right corner, indicating that they are the waxed versions of the items.
With Faithful 64x

Several of the oxidized copper block icons feature a small, cleanly detailed 64x64 resolution orange honeycomb badge in their top-right corner, demonstrating how the pack scales to higher-resolution textures.
How does this differ from Waxed Indicators?
I created this before I realised that a similar pack already existed. While the concept is similar, Waxed Copper Indicators handles compatibility better.
Instead of bundling a static, hardcoded vanilla honeycomb image inside the pack, it dynamically references whatever honeycomb texture is currently active in your game. If you use a high-resolution or stylized resource pack (like Faithful or Prime HD), the indicator badge automatically upgrades and adapts to match that pack's art style seamlessly, rather than sticking out as a low-res vanilla texture.
Compatibility Feedback
I want this pack to work flawlessly with as many custom resource packs as possible. If you run into any visual bugs, or if you find a specific pack where the indicator badge looks broken or misplaced, please let me know so I can fix it.
