Redundant Items
by nick_ninj
Redundant Items is a Fabric and NeoForge game mechanics mod that merges and removes duplicate items to reduce inventory clutter.
What it does
The mod cleans up how Minecraft handles similar items. Raw meats and raw fish fold into one item each, while ingots and coal stand in for nuggets and charcoal, and seeds go straight into the ground without first being collected from grass. Loot tables have been changed as well, so the drops players receive differ from vanilla. Dyes come straight from flowers, while a hoe or pickaxe is needed to pick the flower up. Rotten flesh can also be cooked into steak.
Every change can be turned on or off in the configuration file, so a server or player can keep only the parts they want. The mod is server required and client optional: the server needs it, while players may add it. Redundant Items is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. It requires Architectury API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is an optional dependency for in-game configuration. Files are published for 1.21.1 on both Fabric and NeoForge, with version 1.0.0 dated 2026-05-04.
Key features
Merged raw food
Raw meat and raw fish are combined into single items, removing duplicate entries from the inventory.
Direct seed planting
Seeds are planted directly instead of needing separate handling, which simplifies early farming.
Simplified materials
Ingots and coal take the place of nuggets and charcoal, which leaves fewer near-duplicate items in the inventory.
Toggleable changes
Each change can be disabled in the config, letting server owners choose which simplifications apply.

Use cases

How it compares
Toggleable Enchantments works on both Fabric and NeoForge across 1.21.1 – 26.3 and is a client and server mod under All rights reserved, so it changes enchantments rather than items. Coal Nuggets is also client and server with Fabric and NeoForge files for 1.21 – 26.3, but it is open source under the MIT License and limits its changes to coal and nuggets.

What the author says
Sick of a messy inventory? Redundant Items cleans up Minecraft by merging all those extra items you just don't need. Say goodbye to seeds, now you just plant the crops directly! All your meats and fish are combined into simple "Raw Meat" and "Raw Fish" items, and annoying things like nuggets and charcoal are replaced…
