Nomove
Nomove stops players from moving items between inventory slots, so a fixed inventory layout stays fixed throughout a session.
What it does
The core function of Nomove is to block every way a player can rearrange stacks. Dragging, swapping, click-to-move, transferring between a player inventory and a chest or furnace, and dropping items are all intercepted, which restricts item manipulation at a basic level. The restriction applies as soon as the mod is installed, with no setup screen or configuration step.
The mod is built with Mixin, which injects into the underlying Slot class, so the block works across the inventory, chests and other container interfaces rather than in a single screen. It suits strict single-player challenge runs and survival puzzle maps where item flow is part of the rules. Nomove is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The license is CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain as far as the law allows. The mod is not open source as a project, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.6.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-09-25.
Key features
Blocks item dragging

Blocks swapping and click-to-move

Covers containers
The restriction also applies to chests, furnaces and other container screens, not only the player inventory.
