Inventory Lock

by itisrann

Inventory Lock gives players a single key, L, to decide which ground items they pick up without opening the inventory.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved26.2

What it does

Pressing L cycles through a set of pickup modes shown on a screen. One mode stops all pickup from the ground, another picks up only items the inventory already holds, and a filtered smart mode leaves out new items while keeping normal pickup available. The modes suit mining, farming and exploring, where unwanted drops would otherwise fill slots. Fabric Loader and Fabric API are both required, and the mod is published for Fabric only.

The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and Fabric API has to be present on both sides for the mod to work properly. Files are published for Fabric for 26.2 only, with 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest build from 2026-07-19. The code is All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Single-key mode cycling

    Pressing L moves through the pickup modes, so the setting can change during play without opening a menu.

  2. Stop ground pickup

    One mode stops items on the ground from being picked up, keeping the inventory free of drops.

  3. Pick up only known items

    A mode lets the player collect only items the inventory already contains and ignores anything new.

  4. Filtered smart pickup

    A smart mode filters new items out while leaving normal pickup in place for everything else.

Use cases

Mining

Players can stop unwanted stone and ore drops from filling the inventory during long mining runs.

Farming

Harvest drops can be limited to crops the player already carries, keeping storage for the right items.

Exploring

Players moving through new terrain can avoid picking up every item they pass.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric for Minecraft 26.2 who want control over which ground items enter their inventory. Servers that run Fabric need the mod on the server and on every client, with Fabric API installed on both sides.
