Grounded Items

by Alynexe

Grounded Items changes how dropped items behave in Minecraft, so they rest on surfaces instead of floating and spinning.

What it does

Dropped items settle onto the ground rather than hovering and rotating in place, which the author describes as a way to make dropped items feel more physical while keeping the system simple and lightweight. Players drop an item with the drop key as usual, walk up to it, and right-click to collect it. Pickup is manual, so items are not gathered automatically when a player walks nearby. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Builds exist for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.0.0-alpha.3 under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Resting dropped items

    Items that are dropped lie on surfaces instead of floating and spinning in the air.

  2. Manual pickup

    Dropped items are collected only by a right-click, so nothing is taken from the ground automatically.

  3. Drop and collect

    Items are thrown with the normal drop key and picked up by aiming at them and right-clicking.
