Pickpocketing
by Glitchlabs
Pickpocketing adds two gloves to Fabric 1.21.1 that let a player with a chance of success open another player's inventory, and the Ender Pickpocketing Gloves can reach that player's Ender Chest.
What it does
The Pickpocketing Gloves give a player a small chance of accessing the inventory of another player without that player noticing in advance. The Ender Pickpocketing Gloves are a more advanced variant crafted with End-related materials; they give a small chance of reaching another player's Ender Chest instead. Both items are meant to be stronger but rarer and less reliable than ordinary utility tools, so each attempt carries risk for the thief.
Both items use low success probabilities so that abuse stays limited while the mechanic still supports stealth play, mischief and close encounters between players. The mod is a social and game mechanics addition, and it is designed for servers that want an extra layer of player interaction and a competitive edge. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it.
Pickpocketing is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-04-08. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Pickpocketing Gloves
Gloves that give a player a chance to open another player's inventory without a formal request.
Ender Pickpocketing Gloves
Ender Pickpocketing Gloves are the advanced variant, built from materials tied to the End, and they carry a small chance of opening another player's Ender Chest.
Low success rates
Both items succeed only rarely, which keeps the mechanic from being used to take items reliably.
Stealth and mischief
The gloves add a risk-reward choice to player interaction, suited to stealth play and close encounters on servers.
