Inconsistentize
by Le0nia
Inconsistentize changes how dropped items are picked up when several players stand near the same item, giving each nearby player an equal chance.
What it does
Vanilla item pickup favors the player who joined the world first, so the earliest-joined player usually collects items that other players are also close to. Inconsistentize replaces that rule with a random choice among all players in the area, so the item goes to any one of them with equal odds. The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Random pickup among nearby players
When an item drops, every player in range has the same chance to collect it, instead of the player who joined first.
Fairer shared collection
Groups of players working in the same area share drops more evenly, since joining order no longer decides who gets items.
Server-side operation
Only the server applies the change, so players can join without installing anything.

What the author says
In vanilla Minecraft, item pickup logic gives priority to players who joined the world earlier. This means that when multiple players are near the same dropped item, the one who joined first usually picks it up every time. Now, every nearby player has an equal chance to pick up items, making item collection fair for…
