Confirm drop
by Sandybot
Confirm drop asks for a second key press before an item leaves the inventory, so a stray press of the drop key does not throw away gear.
What it does
Holding CTRL while pressing the drop key confirms the throw, and without that the drop is blocked. Items can be protected by enchantment or by item type, such as the mace, so protected stacks always ask first. The check covers the hotbar, the inventory and container screens.
The protection rules are set through Mod Menu, which controls which enchantments and item types require confirmation. The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and ModMenu Dark Mode, and its files target 1.21.11 on Fabric only.
Key features
Guarded drop key
A drop action on a protected item is cancelled until CTRL is held together with the drop key.
Protection by enchantment
Items carrying chosen enchantments can be marked so that every drop of them asks for confirmation.
Protection by item type
Whole item types, such as the mace, can be added to the protected list in the settings screen.
