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 is true (true by default) It does nothing in creative mode.
• Puts dropped items to the player's inventory if item_drop.enable_item_pickup is true (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 than item_drop.pickup_radius, items between these radii are flying to the player for item_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 is true (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 is true (true by default)
• The keytypes to choose from by setting item_pickup_keytype are:
  • Use key (Use)
  • Sneak key (Sneak)
  • Left and Right keys combined (LeftAndRight)
  • Right mouse button (RMB)
  • Sneak key and right mouse button combined (SneakAndRMB)
• If item_drop.pickup_keyinvert is true (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 is true (true by default)
