Utility Vacuums (Magnet)
by sacdj
Utility Vacuums is a server-side mod that pulls nearby dropped items and experience orbs toward a player holding a vacuum item.
What it does
Vacuum items act like magnets: when one is held or carried, they attract the dropped items and experience orbs around the player within a set radius, so they can be collected without walking over each piece. The author describes it as a charm-style magnet that works with armor stands holding the item too.
The mod is distributed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also as a data pack. It is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Files cover game versions 1.21 – 26.2, and the latest build is 1.2b+mod for 26.2. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Item attraction
Vacuum items draw dropped items toward the player who holds them, saving trips across open ground.
Experience orb pickup
Experience orbs are drawn in the same way, so XP is gathered quickly while the item is carried.
Armor stand support
Vacuum items also attract drops when an armor stand holds one, according to the author.
