Get It Together, Drops!
by bl4ckscor3
With Get It Together, Drops!, dropped items of the same kind merge into one stack on the ground, and server owners decide which items take part through tags and config options.
What it does
The mod adds tags and configuration options that define how dropped items combine on the ground. A server owner can list items under a tag so they never merge, or under a second tag so the mod leaves them alone and vanilla behavior applies. The second tag wins when an item appears in both.
Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port is required on Forge. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 31 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.3.
Key features
Non-combining item tag
Items added to the do-not-combine tag never merge with other dropped items, whatever their type.
Ignored item tag
Items in the ignored tag fall back to vanilla handling, and this tag takes precedence over the do-not-combine tag.
Vertical check option
A checkY setting makes dropped items also look above and below them when combining. It is false by default, which matches vanilla.

Use cases
Keeping rare drops separate
A server can stop valuable or enchanted items from stacking together so each one stays identifiable on the ground.
Vertical stacks
Setting checkY to true lets items stacked on different heights, such as on a ledge, join the same merge.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run large farms or item-heavy worlds and want to control which drops combine. Players on a server running the mod need nothing extra installed.
