item magnet tool
by mr-chibi
Item magnet tool pulls dropped items and loose stacks toward a player's inventory, using a crafted compass that works within about 10 blocks.
What it does
A crafted compass placed in the middle of a crafting grid, with redstone dust around it, produces the tool. Once it is in a player's inventory or off hand, nearby items floor are teleported into that player's inventory, within a radius of 10 blocks. Placing the compass in a chest, or keeping items in a chest, stops teleportation from that chest, so storage is not emptied by the tool.
The server must run the mod for items to move, while a player may leave it out without losing the effect, so only the server side is essential. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the release files cover game versions 1.21.7 – 26.1.2. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, although public links to the source and the issue tracker exist.
Installing and uninstalling the mod is simple, because it adds only the recipe and the behavior, with no world data to migrate. Data pack availability is listed alongside the mod loaders for servers that cannot run a loader.
Key features
Item teleport to inventory
Floor items within 10 blocks move straight into the player's inventory without walking over them.
Compass-based crafting
The tool is made from a compass and redstone dust in a crafting table, a simple recipe that needs no other mod.
Chest exclusion
A compass placed in a chest, or items stored there, block teleportation so the chest keeps its contents.
Off-hand activation
Holding the tool in the off hand is enough to start pulling items, without filling a hotbar slot.
