Pickup Toggle

Press a key to turn item pickup off and stop filling your inventory with rubbish.

Pickup Toggle

Tired of walking through a mob farm and coming out with an inventory full of rotten flesh, seeds and dirt? Press a key and stop picking things up.

How it works

  • Press , (comma) to turn item pickup off. A message above your hotbar says "Item pickup: OFF".
  • Walk over anything you like: items stay on the ground.
  • Press , again to turn pickup back on.

Details

  • The key can be changed in Controls → Inventory → Toggle Item Pickup. Comma was picked because big packs rarely use it.
  • Each player has their own setting. It's saved, and it stays the same after dying or logging out.
  • XP orbs are still collected as normal.
  • Install on both client and server. If only one side has it, players can still join; the key just does nothing.
  • Lightweight: just one check when you touch an item.

Modpacks: feel free to include it in any modpack.

AI disclosure: This mod was developed with the assistance of an AI coding assistant (Claude). The code was written, reviewed, and tested by me with AI help throughout the process. I'm disclosing this for transparency, not because the mod is any less maintained or supported as a result.
