About this Mod
AutoPickup
AutoPickup is a highly configurable server-side mod that automates the collection of items and experience orbs. It features session tracking, a multi-tier permission system, and extensive mod compatibility to ensure drops are attributed to the correct players, even when using high-speed mining mods or engaging in group combat.
✨ Features
Core Functionality
- 🎒 Seamless Collection: Items from broken blocks and mob kills are instantly added to your inventory
- ⭐ Smart Experience Handling: Experience is cached and applied after a short delay, ensuring tools take durability damage before Mending activates
- 🚀 Lag-Free: Prevents item and experience orb entities from spawning, reducing server load
- 📦 Overflow Protection: If your inventory is full, items safely drop at your feet
- 🔧 Granular Control: Toggle individual features independently via commands or config GUI
Advanced Features
- 👥 Mob Loot Splitting: Share mob drops and XP with nearby players who participated in the kill
- 🎮 Per-Player Permissions: Server admins can override settings for specific players
- 💾 Client Profiles: Automatic per-server/world configuration profiles for seamless server switching
- 🔌 Extensive Mod Compatibility: Works automatically with VeinMiner, TreeHarvester, Traveler's Backpack, FallingTree, Panda's Falling Trees and more

⚙️ Configuration
AutoPickup uses a flexible three-tier permission system:
- Server Defaults - Global fallback settings
- Admin Overrides - Per-player forced settings (highest priority)
- Client Preferences - Individual player choices (only if server allows)
🖥️ Configuration Menu (Client)
You can configure your personal preferences via the menu. Use Mod Menu for a easy access on Fabric.
Otherwise, use /autopickup gui
Settings available:
- Master Toggle
- Block Item Pickup
- Block Experience Pickup
- Mob Loot Pickup
- Mob Experience Pickup
- Split Mob Loot (share drops with nearby attackers)
- Split Mob XP (share experience with nearby attackers)
Note: Your client settings only apply if the server admin has enabled the corresponding "Allow" setting for that feature.

✅ Compatibility

🔧 Explicitly Supported Mods
| Mod | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VeinMiner | Full | All vein blocks picked up instantly with XP |
| TreeHarvester | Full | Logs/leaves collected; saplings auto-replanted if enabled |
| Traveler's Backpack | Full | Items route to backpack filter first (If the Auto Pickup upgrade is there it works) |
| FallingTree | Full | Tree items handle the different break modes |
| Panda's Falling Trees | Full | Tree items are handled by AutoPickup after fall animation |
| RightClickHarvest | Full | Right-click crop harvests (including tall sugarcane) picked up automatically |
| General Block Breakers | Compatible | Any mod using vanilla break hooks |
📋 Technical Details
AutoPickup intercepts drops at these injection points:
Block.dropStacks()- Primary block drop handlingServerWorld.spawnEntity()- Item entity spawning and falling block entity tracking (FallingTree)LivingEntity.dropLoot()- Mob loot generationBlock.dropExperience()- Block XP orbsLivingEntity.dropExperience()- Mob XP orbsServerPlayerGameMode.useItemOn()- Right-click harvesting (sweet berries, jukebox disc ejection, crops via the RightClickHarvest mod, etc.)ItemFrame.hurt()- Items removed from item frames by left-clicking
This broad compatibility means most mods work automatically without explicit support.

🎮 Mob Loot Splitting
When Split Mob Loot or Split Mob XP is enabled, rewards from mob kills are shared among participants:
How It Works
- Damage Tracking: The mod tracks the last 10 unique players who damaged each mob
- Eligibility Check: On mob death, only players who:
- Are online and not spectating
- Have Master enabled
- Have the specific Mob Pickup feature enabled
- Have the specific Split feature enabled
- Are in the same world as the killer
- Distribution:
- Items are split evenly; the killer receives any remainder
- Experience is split evenly; the killer receives any remainder
- Items that don't fit in inventories are dropped at the mob's location
Example
Player A (killer), B, and C all damaged a zombie. Settings:
- Player A: Master ✅, Mob Loot ✅, Split Mob Loot ✅
- Player B: Master ✅, Mob Loot ✅, Split Mob Loot ✅
- Player C: Master ✅, Mob Loot ✅, Split Mob Loot ❌
Result: Only A and B receive split loot. Player C gets nothing because they disabled splitting.
