Smart Pickup Locker
by Foxy1e3t
Smart Pickup Locker is a Fabric client mod that stops chosen items from entering the inventory, through commands and an automatic builder mode.
What it does
Players can block item pickup with commands, so unwanted items on the ground are left where they lie. A single command switches the whole mod on or off, and a specific item ID can be blocked while it is held in the hand. The default selection covers common building blocks such as cobblestone, dirt, gravel, granite, diorite, andesite, deepslate and tuff, which the builder mode blocks automatically.
The mod is client-side only, so it runs on single-player and multiplayer clients alone and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric Loader 0.16.0 or later with Java 21 or later. Files cover Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 across 16 release versions, the latest being 1.0.0 for 1.21.10, published 2025-12-01. The code is covered by the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Command-based pickup blocking
Item pickup can be blocked or allowed through commands, without editing any files.
Builder mode selection
Builder mode blocks building materials automatically, so bulk-collected blocks stay out of the inventory.
Single-command toggle
One command turns the whole mod on or off, making it quick to resume normal pickup.
Held item ID blocking
A specific item ID can be blocked while it is held in the hand, which helps keep particular items out of the inventory.
