Inventory BlackList
by At0m_W
Inventory BlackList lets players mark items they do not want, so those items are destroyed on touch instead of being picked up and kept in the inventory.
What it does
The mod adds a BlackList block and a menu that searches vanilla items. A player clicks an item in the menu to add it to the blacklist, and the item is then marked with a red X. Blacklisted items dropped on the ground are removed at once when they touch a player, so they never reach the inventory and do not pile up.
The menu opens with a hotkey, which defaults to B, and a button in the survival inventory gives the same access. A search bar narrows the list of items, and the mod offers two modes for choosing how the blacklist behaves. The filter is meant to keep the inventory clean and reduce lag on servers that collect dirt, cobblestone, rotten flesh and similar drops from mining, farming or mobs.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 14 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, under the MIT License, which is not open source. Both the server and every player must run it, because the pickup filter works on each side.

How it compares
Itemphobia is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Item Pickup Blacklist is also Fabric and client-side only, but it is for 26.2 only and is not open source. Inventory BlackList runs on client and server, so players and the server both need it.
