Hotbar Dumping Excess (/dev/null)
A simple toggleable /dev/null like function in your hotbar
About this Mod
A simple toggleable /dev/null like function in your hotbar.
Select the slot, toggle the function, and you're ready to mine!
As the mod name, this mod void the pickup item that you have selected in your hotbar when it over a stack.
It's similar to an item called "/dev/null" from OpenBlocks, but it's just a function in your hotbar now.
The default hotkey is "comma".
Happy mining :)
I made this because other mods having a similar function are too overpowered for my taste.
