Auto Pickup Filter
by TheWizard022
Auto Pickup Filter lets players stop chosen items from being collected automatically, whether they come from vanilla Minecraft or from other mods.
What it does
A single key toggles automatic item pickup on and off, and hovering the mouse over an item marks it so it stays on the ground. Items left on the ground stop being collected automatically until the player picks the same one up again by pressing the key once more. Repetitive, unwanted drops such as rotten flesh and feathers can be filtered out during farming, fighting and exploring.
The mod works with items from vanilla Minecraft and from modded content, and it is compatible with JEI and REI, including their item lists and search results. Players can open the inventory search for items that JEI or REI show and set their pickup state from there. Installation needs nothing beyond the mod itself, since the menus are simple and need no complex configuration.
Auto Pickup Filter runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
Key features
Single-key toggle
One key switches automatic pickup on or off, so players can change the state quickly during a session.
Hover to exclude items
Hovering the mouse over an item marks it as not to be picked up automatically, and it stays on the ground.
Per-item re-pickup
Pressing the key again on the same item lets it be picked up once more, so the filter can be undone item by item.
JEI and REI search
Items shown in JEI or REI item lists and search results can be opened from the inventory search to change their pickup state.
