ItemFavorites
by 2Retr0
With ItemFavorites, a favorited item stays protected from dropping, quick-moving, swapping and several mod-driven sorting or stacking actions.
What it does
Favoriting an item marks it so that common interactions do not affect it. A favorited stack cannot be dropped from the hotbar or the inventory, cannot be shift-clicked into another container, and cannot be exchanged through the number keys for an item outside the inventory. The mod also blocks item transfer actions from a few other mods, including QuickStack and Inventory Sorting, so a favorited item is not stacked or sorted away.
The mod runs on Fabric and Quilt, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.19.3 – 1.20.4 across seven release versions, and the latest Fabric build is 1.0.5+1.20.1 for 1.20.4. ItemFavorites is open source under the MIT License, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Protected drops
Favorited items cannot be dropped, whether they sit in the hotbar or elsewhere in the inventory.
Blocked quick-moving
Shift-clicking a favorited item into another container is suppressed, so it stays where the player put it.
Locked number-key swaps
A favorited item cannot be exchanged with an item outside the inventory through the number keys.
Mod interaction blocks
Favorited items are excluded from QuickStack stacking and Inventory Sorting, so those actions leave them alone.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use QuickStack or Inventory Sorting, and anyone who often loses items to accidental drops or shift-clicks, will find the protection useful. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on the server and on every client.
How it compares
Simple Favorite Items is client-side only, runs on Fabric and Quilt for 26.1.2 – 26.2, and is not open source under All rights reserved. NoSelfHarm is server-side only, runs on Fabric for 1.20.2, and is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is not open source in the sense of the MIT License used here. QuickStacks is a client and server mod for Fabric on 26.2 and is open source under the MIT License, but it covers stacking rather than item protection.
