CheapAway
by Yanbwe
CheapAway lets a player discard every item below a chosen rarity with one click, so a crowded pile of common loot can be cleared without checking each stack.
What it does
Pressing the hotkey brings up a floating panel in the survival inventory. Its input box sets a target rarity, and a toggle turns the pickup filter on or off. While the filter is active, items below the specified rarity are refused on pickup, and a one-click discard removes such items already in the inventory. The panel can be dragged by its three lines on the far left, and the rarity and discard settings can be adjusted from the same panel.
The mod needs RarityCore, which supplies the rarity data that the filter relies on. Default values for the filter and the panel are defined in a config file, so server owners can set them before players join. CheapAway runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering the game versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Pickup filter
Items below a chosen rarity are refused when picked up, so worthless loot does not fill the inventory.
One-click discard
Items already in the inventory that fall below the target rarity can be removed in a single click.
Hotkey and floating panel
A hotkey opens a draggable panel in the survival inventory that holds the rarity input and the toggle.
Config defaults
Default rarity and panel values are defined in a config file, so the starting setup can be changed without the game.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who collect large amounts of loot and want to skip common items. Server owners who want a shared default for the filter can set it in the config file.
How it compares
Take It is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and open source, that runs on client and server as CheapAway does. Item Rarity Fix is Forge-only for 1.19.3 – 1.20.2, optional on either side, and is not open source. CrosshairTarget Filter is a client-side only mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge covering 1.17 – 26.3 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it does not change what the server does.

What the author says
You may have encountered this situation: a bunch of coal lies on the ground with a single diamond among them, but you can't quickly pick up just the rarest diamond — very frustrating and uncomfortable. Or when there's too much loot and you want to discard the worthless items, you have to check each one individually?…
