ItemPickupPlus
by kabanod1m
ItemPickupPlus changes how dropped items are collected, letting players set when and where pickup happens on a Fabric server or client.
What it does
Pickup rules for dropped items are configurable. Players can limit collection to sneaking, to an empty hand, or to a stack that has room, and the maximum pickup range can be adjusted. Dropping an item no longer starts the usual pickup delay, because items are then collected by hand.
A tooltip shows the controls when an item is moved, and a key can be bound or unbound for taking items with the offhand. The offhand can also be used to drop items. Some tooltip behavior is still listed as not yet implemented, so the display of the top item in the world is not final. Stacking of items is not yet handled.
The mod needs Cloth Config API for its settings screen and Fabric API for core hooks. Mod Menu is optional and opens the config screen from the mod list. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.20.1-0.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Sneak-only pickup
Items can be collected only while the player is sneaking, so walking over drops does not pick them up.
Empty-hand pickup
Pickup can be limited to moments when the hand is empty or when the matching stack has room.
Adjustable pickup range
The distance at which dropped items are collected can be set in the configuration.
Offhand key binding
A key bound to the offhand picks up or drops items, and the binding can be removed in the controls menu.

How it compares
Tooltip Scrolling is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Favorite Items is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, released under the MIT License as open source. Just Enough Pickups (JEP) is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source and it covers pickup behavior that ItemPickupPlus also handles.
