Sticky Fingers
by Inferis
Sticky Fingers adds a magnet item that pulls nearby items toward the player, and a second, free-slot form on Fabric with Trinkets.
What it does
A magnet item attracts dropped items from up to 8 blocks away while it is active in the inventory. Items that spawn inside that radius, or already lie on the floor within reach as a player walks around, drift toward the player and end up in the inventory when there is room. Carrying more than one magnet still gives only one effect.
The magnet has two modes, active and inactive. Only an active magnet attracts items, and the mode can be switched by pressing M, which is configurable. An active magnet shows the enchantment glint, and the inventory toggle status applies to every magnet at the same time. Sticky Fingers needs Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is open source with public source code and an issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 26.3 across 7 release versions, with 0.3.3-26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-16.
Key features
Item attraction
Dropped items within 8 blocks are pulled toward the player while the magnet is active in the inventory.
Active and inactive modes
A magnet only attracts items in its active mode, and the mode can be toggled on and off.
Mode toggle key
Pressing M switches the activation mode, and the key can be changed in the settings.
Trinkets magnet slot
On 1.21.1 the Trinkets integration adds a dedicated magnet slot, so the magnet does not take an inventory slot.
