What it does

Magnets are placed in end city loot chests, and operators can also get one with a chat function. A magnet is held in either the main hand or the off hand, and it collects items inside a radius set by its rarity: a 3x3 area for Epic and a 5x5 area for Legendary. Shift with right click toggles the pull on or off while the magnet is held.

Magnets have durability, with 3000 uses for Epic and 7000 for Legendary. Mending and Unbreaking can be applied to them. The mod is packaged as a datapack, so it also runs on servers that load datapacks, and its environment is server required with the client optional.
