Assorted Grates
Assorted Grates adds item grates for Fabric and NeoForge, where walking mobs and players stand on them while dropped items fall straight through.
What it does
Grates come in iron, gold and copper, all built from the metal mesh that Assorted Core adds. A grate passes dropped items straight through, so a player or mob can walk across it without the surface holding anything that lands on it. Copper grates weather over time like other copper blocks, and an axe scrapes the weathering back, while honeycomb waxes the block to stop it.
The mod needs Assorted Lib, and Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Maps saved under Assorted Tech 9.x still load after the switch, since the Iron Item Grate replaces its metal mesh block in place. Installing Assorted Grates next to Assorted Tech 9.x is not recommended, so pick one of the two for a given world.

What the author says
Adds item grates. You can walk on them and mobs stand on them, but anything dropped on one falls straight through. Worlds made with Assorted Tech 9.x keep everything when you switch to this mod. The metal mesh from 9.x becomes the Iron Item Grate. Don't install it beside Assorted Tech 9.x.
