About this Mod
Just Enough Pickups is a QoL mod made primarily to solve the problem of filling up inventory with rubbish without the need of another container by using a pickup filtering system.
Features:
Vanila-style Tooltip: Renders on dropped items. Toggle by [H] by default.
Easy-to-use filter: Easily add item to filter list to be auto picked up by a key, [I] by default.
Advanced Configuration Screen: Allow items to be auto picked up alongside with an in-game user-friendly guide. Toggle by [G] by default.
Advanced Item Filter: The filter whitelist supports filtering by item id, item group tags, NBT tags and more(see in-game)! Also supports Datapacks items unlike other mods(check /data get entity @s SelectedItem for tags!).
Right Click Pickup: Immersively pick up items on ground by just right click. All pickups not allowed by filter list are disabled.
Simple item physics: Just simple visual physics on dropped items. Credits to Better Dropped Items
