BotW Pickup
by Mian
BotW Pickup is a Forge client mod for 1.16.5 that shows item pickups and dropped loot in a slide-in panel styled after Breath of the Wild.
What it does
Picked-up items appear in a panel that slides into view, so a player can see what was collected without opening the inventory. The panel is built to resemble the interface of Breath of the Wild, with a clean layout and a modern look. Dropped piles are shown with their contents, which removes much of the guessing about what a stack holds.
Because the decision to keep or discard an item is shown right away, inventory management becomes quicker during long sessions of looting. The slide-in animation is a small visual touch added to the game experience, and the mod is limited to the 1.16.5 game version. It runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. Forge is the only loader it is published for.
BotW Pickup is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.0-Release, published on 2026-01-23, after the first release on 2025-10-02.

Craft Of The Wild is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also needs to be installed on both sides, and it is not open source either.
