Intentional Pickup (Bedrock)

A simple addon that makes mobs only pickup items that are intentionally dropped by players.

About The Project

Intentional Pickup (Bedrock) is a small and lightweight addon that changes mobs to only pickup items that are dropped by players and optionally only items included in the whitelist or not included in the blacklist. This change should reduce lag by preventing mass build-up of mobs in caves in long term worlds and servers.

Configuring The Whitelist/Blacklist

Intentional Pickup (Bedrock) has commands for controlling its whitelist and blacklist, by default both lists are empty meaning mobs will pickup any item dropped by a player.

See commands below:

Note: The commands require operator permissions to be used.

If an item appears in both lists, the blacklist takes precedence and overrides the whitelist value.
