Instant Picking
by saltywater
Instant Picking lets a player collect nearby dropped items in one action, with a configurable pickup radius.
What it does
When the feature is switched on, items lying around the player are gathered at once rather than one by one. The pickup range can be set in the configuration, and the default radius is 5 blocks. Items are skipped when the inventory is full, so nothing is lost on the ground. The mod runs on Forge, needs both the server and every player, and is published for 1.19 – 1.21.5 with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Just hit caps lock and everything around you will be instantly picked up, with a radius of 5 blocks (by default). Set if this is set by default, by entering the world.
