Quick Player Trade

Standing next to another player and right-clicking them gives one item from the stack held in the main hand. Sneaking while right-clicking gives the entire stack. The receiving player and the giver each get a message confirming the gift, which the author describes as a small friendly notice rather than a trade screen. Items keep their NBT data when they change hands, so custom names, enchantments and values added by other mods stay with the item.

The author aims the mod at a more polite way to hand items to friends, and throwing items at other players is not the intent. The mod is server-side only and works for vanilla and Fabric clients connecting to a server that runs it. Fabric API is required. Quick Player Trade is published for Fabric only, across the 1.18 – 1.18.2 range with files for 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2.

The author says the mod has no Forge version and that Forge support may come later. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, so the project is not open source. The author has said the source code could be opened later, and the project has a public issue tracker.
