AutoDropX
by Necron-Dev
With AutoDropX, a Forge client mod for 1.20.1, excess items are discarded automatically once a stack passes a set minimum.
What it does
AutoDropX is a client-side only utility that discards excess items according to rules the player sets. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Each rule keeps a minimum quantity of an item, and the mod drops whatever is above that amount, which keeps the inventory tidy after the player picks up loot. Architectury API and Kotlin for Forge are required and must be installed beside it.
The mod offers three matching modes. Item ID matches on the item type alone, ID+NBT matches the exact item data including enchantments and names, and Item Tag matches every item sharing a tag, with the ability to cycle through several tags. Minimum quantity is adjusted with the mouse wheel in steps, and a right-click switches the matching mode. A JEI-style navigator with nine configuration pages sits alongside the rules, and JEI ghost dragging can be used to place items into the rule list.
AutoDropX is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source, with its source code published. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge file, 1.0.1, was published on 2025-09-20 after the first release on 2025-09-19.
Key features
Auto-discard overflow
Items above the chosen minimum quantity are dropped automatically, so only the amount the player needs is kept.
Three matching modes
Rules can match an item ID, an exact ID plus NBT data, or an item tag, depending on how precisely items should be sorted.
Item tag cycling
In tag mode a rule can cycle through several tags, so one rule covers more than one group of items.
Mouse wheel adjustment
The minimum quantity changes in default steps with the mouse wheel, and a right-click switches between matching modes.

How it compares
Health Overflow Fix is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is not open source under the MIT License, and it runs as client and server, so both sides must install it, while AutoDropX needs only the client. TooltipsReforgedDyed is also a Forge 1.20.1 client-side mod, released under the MIT License and open source, but it changes tooltips rather than discarding items. NBT Autocomplete covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 26.3 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it reaches more loaders and versions than AutoDropX.
