AutoDrop Manager
by Mr_Lan123
AutoDrop Manager removes unwanted items from a player's inventory by dropping them on the ground as soon as they arrive, and it is built for Fabric.
What it does
Players mark the items they do not want to keep, and the mod drops each marked item the moment it enters the inventory, so cobblestone, dirt, gravel and diorite no longer fill slots during strip-mining or excavation. Items are dropped to the ground immediately rather than being stored, which keeps the inventory clear without any manual cleaning.
The item list is managed in a grid screen that covers every item in the game. A search field finds entries by their localized name or technical ID, a global switch turns the drops on or off, and a clear button empties the blacklist in one click. The screen opens from a key bind, which defaults to O and can be changed in the Minecraft controls options.
The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. It targets Fabric for game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Automatic dropping of selected items
Items on the blacklist are dropped on the ground as they enter the inventory, so they never occupy a slot.
Searchable item grid
A search bar filters the full item list by localized name or technical ID, so a specific item is quick to find.
Global on and off switch
A single toggle pauses or resumes all automatic drops without changing the saved blacklist.
Key bind access
The management screen opens from a configurable key, with O as the default, and the binding sits in the normal controls options.

Use cases
Strip-mining and excavation
Long mining runs collect stone, dirt and gravel that fill the inventory, and the blacklist drops them as they are picked up.
Who it’s for: Players who dig through large areas and want common filler blocks removed from the inventory without sorting it by hand.
How it compares
SecondaryKeybind is a Fabric client mod for 1.20 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, not open source, and it only handles key binds. Hotbar Config is also client-side only and not open source, but it is limited to 1.21.11 and changes the hotbar layout instead of clearing items.
