LT-ItemFilter
by LordTricker
LT-ItemFilter keeps a player's valuable items out of the discard path, using saved lists of protected items called filter profiles.
What it does
Items listed in a filter are protected from accidental discarding. Profiles hold these lists, and each list can be edited in the game with commands or in a plain file, ltitemfilter-config.json, that the mod generates and loads on startup. Adding or removing an identifier only changes the list content; the structure of the file stays the same.
Filtered items can also be highlighted, both in inventory and on the ground, so they stand out in a crowded screen. Filter activation works with SHIFT, and the Ctrl+G shortcut opens the interface. The mod runs on the Fabric loader only, and it is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for 1.18.2 – 1.21.4 across 11 release versions, with 1.4.1-Alpha+1.21.4 for 1.21.4 as the latest file, updated on 2025-04-18.
The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players do not need any other mod to use it. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Automatic discarding protection
Items on a filter list are kept, so unwanted items can be discarded without risk to the rest of the inventory.
Filter profiles
Profiles group item lists, letting a player switch between sets of protected items for different tasks.
Item highlighting
Filtered items are marked in the inventory and on the ground, making them stand out in a busy screen.
Command-based editing
Commands add or remove item identifiers from a profile, so lists can be changed without leaving the game.
