Item Blocker: Pickup Filtering and Preset Management

Item Filtering and Quick Binds

Item Blocker prevents unwanted debris from cluttering your inventory while mining, farming, or sorting chests. Players can access the main configuration screen by pressing K or triggering the Open Item Blocker Config action in the Controls menu. Inside the "Blocked items config" menu, click "Add Item" to specify an entry by its "Item ID" (such as minecraft:cobblestone or modded namespaces) or plain item names. If you wish to purge the list entirely, choose "Clear All".

For seamless gameplay without constantly opening menus, hotkeys provide immediate actions: use Add Held Item to blacklist whatever stack you are grasping, or Add Targeted Block to filter whichever world block your crosshair highlights. You can quickly disable all restrictions with Toggle Filter, suspend filtering momentarily using Temporarily Bypass Filter, or pause all collection entirely with Toggle All Pickup.

Pickup Modes and Presets

Under "Item Blocker - Options", players select how blocked entities are handled through "Pickup Mode". The default "Mode: Client-Only (Recommended)" operates on any server without extra server installations by instantly dropping blocked pickups back onto the ground. If a server also runs the mod, switching to "Mode: Server-Side Prevention" halts pickups at the network level, preventing inventory flicker.

To share or store diverse filter lists across worlds, open "Manage Presets". Users can select "Create New Preset", define a title under "Preset Name", and review contents through "Edit Preset". Presets can be exported by pressing Ctrl+C on the generated string, while "Import Preset" accepts an external "Preset Code" to restore shared setups effortlessly.
