Better Looting

📦 Overview

Say no to "vacuum cleaner" looting and experience immersive RPG-style loot management.

Better Looting completely overhauls Minecraft's dropped item interaction mechanics. When you approach dropped items, they will no longer automatically fill your inventory. Instead, they are displayed in an elegant HUD floating window. Just like in various RPGs and games, you can calmly choose the loot you truly need and say goodbye to the annoyance of a cluttered inventory.

✨ Core Features

💎 Immersive HUD Interaction

• Smart floating window: An item list automatically appears on the screen when you approach dropped items;
• Free selection: Browse up and down with the mouse wheel, press [F] (default) to precisely pick up the selected item;
• One-click collect all: In a hurry? Hold [F] to pick up all nearby dropped items instantly;
• Visual optimization:
  • Supports visual stacking display for more than 64 items (maximum pick-up per stack is still 64);
  • Smart sorting: Rarer items are automatically placed at the top of the list, so you can spot valuable items at a glance.

🧹 Smart Filter & Whitelist

• One-click filter: Press [Left Alt] to toggle "Filter Mode". By default, this mode only displays rare items (such as tools, armor, etc.) and automatically hides junk blocks like cobblestone and dirt;
• Custom whitelist:
  • Want to adjust the filter? Open your inventory and press [Left Alt] to open the whitelist settings;
  • Add any item to the whitelist to keep it visible in Filter Mode.
• Deep JEI integration: Fully compatible with JEI! Click items directly in the JEI list to add them to your whitelist for effortless operation.

🚀 Super Stacking & Performance Optimization

Break vanilla limits and eliminate lag caused by massive amounts of dropped items:

• Break limits: Similar dropped items ignore the vanilla 64-stack limit and are automatically "compressed" into a single entity;
• Highly controllable: Toggle on/off and freely adjust the X/Z/Y absorption radius in the config.

🎨 Highly Customizable UI

No more obstructed views — you are in full control. Freely adjust the position, size, and transparency of the floating window.
Supports multiple display conditions:

• Always Display: Visible at all times;
• Look-Down Display: Maximum immersion! The list only appears when you look down at the ground (trigger angle is fully adjustable);
• Stationary Display: Only visible when the player is standing still;
• Key-Controlled Display: Only visible when holding or toggling a specific key.

🎮 Flexible Anti-Misoperation Options

Customize mouse wheel behavior to prevent accidental inputs during combat:

• Always enabled;
• Require key activation;
• Only enabled when stationary.
