Pickup Filter
Pickup Filter lets a server decide which items players can pick up from the ground, using a whitelist or blacklist of item filters.
What it does
The mod adds an item blacklist: a filter that stops listed items from being picked up, so players leave them on the ground. A whitelist mode is also available, where only the listed items can be collected. Pickup Filter is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it needs Fabric API. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20 and 1.20.1 and the latest build 2.3.0+1.20.1 dated 2024-12-08.
Key features

Whitelist and blacklist modes
A whitelist mode lets only chosen items be collected, while a blacklist blocks them.
Server-side filtering
The filter runs on the server, so players need no client install to be affected by it.
