Pickup Filter
by Dev-Sebi
Pickup Filter lets players decide which dropped items they collect, using a whitelist or blacklist kept in named profiles.
What it does
Each profile stores a list of items and a mode that determines whether the list is read as a whitelist, so only listed items are picked up, or as a blacklist, so listed items are left on the ground. A settings screen switches between saved profiles, and a live sidebar shows the current list next to the controls. Changing the list or mode takes effect on the next step, without a restart or relog. An empty whitelist filters nothing, so the game is not blocked when no items are chosen. A profile that is filled but quietly leaves pickups alone shows a message on the screen saying so.
Pickup decisions are made on the client and the server is able to run it as well, and the mod cancels the pickup before vanilla touches the inventory, which avoids the flicker and clean-up of items that are picked up and thrown back out. Installation needs Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Whitelist and blacklist modes
A row marked W or B tells whether the profile works as a whitelist or a blacklist.
Profile management
Profiles can be created, renamed and deleted, and deleting asks for confirmation before removing one.
Pickup filtering before inventory insertion
Items are cancelled before they reach the inventory, so no pickup sound or take-item animation plays for filtered items.
Item list with a limit
Each profile can hold a list of up to 32 items, and the list is edited from the settings screen.

Use cases
Singleplayer and LAN
A player can leave ores or junk items on the ground while collecting everything else.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners run the mod on the server to decide which items players pick up there.
Who it’s for: Players who want to keep their inventory clear of unwanted items, and server owners who want item pickup rules on their own server.
How it compares
Item Pickup Blacklist is client-side only, works on Fabric for 26.2 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Disable item pickup is also client-side only, uses the MIT License and is published for 26.1.2. Pickup Control runs on the server and is optional on the client, uses the MIT License and is published for 1.20.1.

What the author says
Decide what ends up in your inventory. Pick the items you never want to collect and leave them on the ground - or turn it around and collect only the items you chose, ignoring everything else. One button on the settings screen switches between them, and each saved profile remembers its own mode.
