SimpleLoot
SimpleLoot lets a player move items between a container and the inventory with a held key while the mouse sweeps across slots, the way Rust handles loot.
What it does
Holding a key while dragging the cursor over slots moves the items under it instantly. The player inventory, the 3x3 crafting table and the 2x2 survival crafting grid are included as well.
The mod adds a hover drop action that uses a dedicated key with Ctrl, so items under the cursor fall to the ground. It works in creative mode's survival inventory tab too. Optional settings protect hotbar items from being moved and let players enable or disable transfers for specific container types. The config screen is built in and does not need Cloth Config, and it is reached from Options, Controls, Key Binds, SimpleLoot.
SimpleLoot is a Fabric mod, released under the MIT License, and it is open source with its source code and issue tracker public. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Files cover 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.5.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file.
