About this Mod

Banner

While mining or building, picking up the items you break can sometimes be annoying, as they can fall just out of reach of you.

This data pack aims to fix this by allowing you to use a copper ingot in your offhand to attract items to you. All items within a 6 block radius (more or less the radius you can mine in) will be teleported to you, allowing you to pick them up easily. Additionally, experience orbs and pickupable arrows on the ground will also be attracted to you.

The item that acts as a magnet is determined by the simple_magnet:acts_as_magnet item tag, which can be customized via another data pack if you so please.
