Debloat
by armet06
Debloat, a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, removes redundant items and merges similar ones to reduce inventory clutter, and changes some loot tables, recipes and worldgen to match.
What it does
Debloat cuts down on items that duplicate each other or add little, so the inventory holds fewer kinds of stacks. Several items are merged into one: hanging signs join regular signs, beef, pork and mutton become a single flank item, and chicken and rabbit are treated as the same meat. Steak and pork chops are grouped together as well, so cooked meats of different kinds share slots. Rabbit hide is removed and replaced with leather in its recipes.
The mod also edits drops and generation. Tall grass drops only seeds when broken with a hoe, azalea and dripleaf require a hoe, shears or Silk Touch, and poisonous potatoes no longer appear in loot tables. Andesite, diorite and granite are removed, and underground worldgen produces fewer stone variants and fewer dirt and gravel blobs. Recipes are adjusted so that resources such as quartz and calcite stay available.
Debloat is installed on the server, and players need nothing on their side because it is server required and client optional. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, is not open source, and the source code is public. Files target 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest NeoForge build, published on 2026-05-20.

Minecraft's item roster has expanded dramatically over time.
