This mod adds Minecraft-like drop/pick up of items to Minetest.
Features
- All settings may be configured from within the game itself. (Settings tab > Advanced settings > Mods > item_drop)
- Drops nodes as in-world items on dig if
item_drop.enable_item_drop
istrue
(true by default) It does nothing in creative mode. - Puts dropped items to the player's inventory if
item_drop.enable_item_pickup
istrue
(true by default) - Multiple items are picked in a quick succession instead of all at once which is indicated by the pickup sound.
- It uses a node radius set in
item_drop.pickup_radius
(default 0.75), if items are within this radius around the player's belt, they're picked. - If
item_drop.pickup_age
is something positive, items dropped by players are ignored for this time to avoid instantly picking up when dropping. - If
item_drop.pickup_age
is-1
, items are only picked when they don't move, it's another fix for instant item picking. - If
item_drop.magnet_radius
is bigger thanitem_drop.pickup_radius
, items between these radii are flying to the player foritem_drop.magnet_time
seconds, after this time, they're picked or stop flying. - Enable manual item pickups by mouse only if
item_drop.mouse_pickup
istrue
(true by default) - Plays a sound when the items are picked up with the gain level set to
item_drop.pickup_sound_gain
(default 0.2) - Requires a key to be pressed in order to pick items if
item_drop.enable_pickup_key
istrue
(true by default) - The keytypes to choose from by setting

istrue
(false by default), items are collected when the key is not pressed instead of when it's pressed. - Displays a particle of the picked item above the player if
item_drop.pickup_particle
istrue
(true by default)
Big improvement for survival
Sadly, this mod tends to lag on big servers, but is very good for small servers and singleplayer.
Glitchy, but good
This is a little but glitchy - items tend to fly away. But it's still good to have, especially in survival - I think it makes more sense than teleporting items, and adds some danger. It can also be used in combination with pipework's vacuum tubes to collect items
It's Great!
Adds a new challenge to the game, plus the popping sound it super satisfying. Sometimes I will place a bunch of blocks and break them just to hear it. Thank you.
