Simple Favorite Items
by luuxxifer
Simple Favorite Items lets players mark inventory slots as favourites so the items in them are protected from accidental dropping, moving or loss.
What it does
A favourite mark stops the marked item from being dropped with the Q key or Ctrl+Q, moved into another slot or container such as a chest or crafting table, and swapped with other items. Players can dump everything else from the inventory in one action while favourite items stay where they are. If a favourite stack is consumed or used up, its slot is cleared and the mark is removed automatically, so no stale mark is left behind.
The mod is lightweight and runs on the client alone, so players can add it to single-player worlds and to clients joining servers that do not have it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with the v1.1-fabric-26.2 build for 26.2 as the latest file. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Protected favourite slots
Marked items cannot be dropped, moved to another container or swapped with other items.
Bulk dump that spares favourites
Everything not marked as a favourite can be emptied from the inventory while the protected items remain in place.
Automatic mark removal
When a favourite stack is consumed or cleared, its mark is removed so the slot does not keep an empty favourite.
Lightweight client mod
The mod changes only the player's own inventory handling and adds no server-side behaviour.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who often clear their inventory or work in containers and want certain items locked in place. Because it runs on the client alone, it suits single-player worlds and any server that does not install mods.
How it compares
ItemFavorites is the closest match in purpose, with Fabric and Quilt files for 1.19.3 – 1.20.4 and a client and server environment under the MIT License, so both sides must run it. PickupHighlight is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 26.1 – 26.1.2, but it highlights pickups rather than protecting slots. QDropConfirm is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License that asks for confirmation before dropping items, a different approach to the same problem.

What the author says
This means you can safely dump or drop everything else from your inventory — favourite items stay right where they are. If a favourite slot becomes empty (item consumed, cleared, etc.), the mark is automatically removed — no leftover stars.
