Description
The Item Pick-Up Range mod allows players to adjust the range at which they automatically pick up items in Minecraft (default is 1.0). Each player can set their own pickup radius individually, and server admins can define configurable minimum and maximum limits to keep ranges balanced.
The mod supports per-player customization, persists values between sessions, and automatically clamps existing player values when configuration limits are changed.
Features
- Per-player pickup range – Each player can set their own range.
- Configurable limits – Server admins can define
minPickupRangeandmaxPickupRangein a JSON config file. - Automatic clamping – Player ranges are automatically adjusted if they exceed new config limits.
- Persistent values – Player pickup ranges are saved and loaded from NBT.
- Simple commands – All features accessible through one root command:
/PickupRange.
