Sneaky Picking
by ProstStuff
Sneaky Picking changes how item pickup works: players pick up items only while sneaking, using a configurable key.
What it does
With Sneaky Picking, the item a player targets with the crosshair can be picked up on a right click, but only while the Left Shift key is held down or the sneak key is bound to it. Nearby items are no longer collected by walking over them. Players who want the normal pickup behavior back can leave the mod out. The keybind is configurable, and the item HUD stays visible while targeting. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt across 26.1 – 26.3 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Only players who install the mod and sneak get the changed behavior. Both the server and every player need the mod to run.

Sneak-only pickup

Crosshair targeting
A right click collects the item under the crosshair, and the item HUD remains shown.
Configurable keybind
The key used for sneaking can be changed in the controls settings to suit the player's layout.
