Don't Drop It! Revivied
by technicfan
Don't Drop It! Revivied is a Fabric client mod that stops players from dropping items by accident, using a delay, a hold key and a lock icon.
What it does
Dropping an item takes a delay with a cool overlay drawn over the slot, so a stray press with the drop key does nothing. A player holding an additional drop modifier key can still drop the item at once. The delay length is configurable, and a favourites list keeps chosen items protected, with default favourites set to non-common items, enchantments and curses only.
The mod is a port of the original Don't Drop It by ADudeCalledLeo, carried to modern Minecraft after the author missed the earlier version. Its settings open through Mod Menu, and a Restore Defaults option resets the favourites to their starting list. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source; its source code and issue tracker are public.
Installation needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API on the client, both installed separately because they are not bundled. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Files are published for Fabric across 6 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, with 2.5.0+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Drop delay
Dropping an item starts a timed delay shown by a cool overlay on the slot, and the drop completes only if the key is held.
Drop modifier key
Holding an extra modifier key while pressing drop removes the delay and drops the item immediately.
Favourites list
Chosen items are added to a favourites list and marked with a lock icon, so they cannot be dropped by accident.
Default favourites
Non-common items, enchanted items and cursed items are favoured by default, and Restore Defaults rebuilds that list.

How it compares
LockItem-Fabric is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Favorite Items is open source under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and also runs client-side only. LockSlots[+] is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License that is not open source, so it covers an older version range than this mod.

What the author says
This is a port of the amazing mod Don't Drop It! by ADudeCalledLeo to modern Minecraft (currently 1.21.11+). It's been quite a while since I first had the idea of a port and created the fork on GitHub. I used to play with the mod in 1.19 and missed it since. Now I finally was able to actually port it!
