davdeo's Item Magnet
by davdeo
davdeo's Item Magnet adds a Fabric magnet that pulls dropped items and experience toward a player within a 32-block radius.
What it does
Once a magnet is active, dropped items within 32 blocks are drawn toward the player, and the pull ignores walls and other blocks between the player and the item. The magnet can be toggled off by right-clicking with it. While items are being collected it loses durability, and when it breaks it becomes a Broken Magnet that can be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace to restore a Magnet Core. Automatic farms benefit because their drops are gathered without a hopper line.
The magnet is found in dungeons and other dimensions, with a low chance of appearing, and it is intended for late-game play. Ancient City chests carry it 35% of the time, Bastion chests 15%, End City chests 15%, Stronghold chests 10%, and library chests are included as well. A Magnet Core can be crafted into a new magnet. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it requires Fabric API. Optional companions are listed on the mod's page. Files exist for 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Wide item pickup radius
Dropped items within 32 blocks are pulled toward the player, speeding up collection after mining or farming.
Ignores walls
The pull is not blocked by solid blocks between the player and the item, so drops behind a wall are still collected.
Toggle and durability
Right-clicking toggles the magnet on or off, and durability drops while it is actively picking up items.
Repair through smelting
A broken magnet becomes a Broken Magnet that can be smelted to recover a Magnet Core for crafting a new one.
