Burn It: Inventory Burn
by syarkkya
Burn It adds a way to destroy unwanted items in the inventory by right-clicking them over a lava bucket, flint and steel, or a similar fire source.
What it does
Players open an inventory, chest or other item screen and right-click an item while holding a lava bucket, flint and steel, or another fire source. The item is burned instantly, which removes it from the inventory without dropping it on the ground. Built-in protection and a custom blacklist keep valuable or unwanted-to-lose items safe from being burned by mistake.
The mod targets Fabric and Quilt and is published for 1.21.1 only. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Fabric API is a required dependency. Burn It is not open source and is distributed under a custom license by syarkkya. The config screen can be opened through Mod Menu, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) gives full control over the mod's behavior.
Key features
Burn items from the inventory
Right-clicking an item over a fire source destroys it directly in the inventory screen, with no need to drop it first.
Enchanted item protection
Enchanted items are shielded by default, which prevents accidental loss of hard-earned gear.
Shulker box protection
Shulker boxes can be protected too, so a misclick does not destroy a stored bulk supply.
Custom item blacklist
Specific items can be added to a blacklist so they cannot be burned, and the choice of fire sources and durability use is configurable.

How it compares
Let It Burn is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.21 – 1.21.1, so players can join without installing anything. Lava Furnaces is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 that works on either side, and neither side needs it. It is released under the CC-BY-1.0 license, which is not open source. Burn It needs both sides and is covered by a custom license.
