Description

The Item Pick-Up Range mod allows players to adjust the range at which they automatically pick up items in Minecraft (default is 1.0). Each player can set their own pickup radius individually, and server admins can define configurable minimum and maximum limits to keep ranges balanced.

The mod supports per-player customization, persists values between sessions, and automatically clamps existing player values when configuration limits are changed.

Features

• Per-player pickup range – Each player can set their own range.
• Configurable limits – Server admins can define minPickupRange and maxPickupRange in a JSON config file.
• Automatic clamping – Player ranges are automatically adjusted if they exceed new config limits.
• Persistent values – Player pickup ranges are saved and loaded from NBT.
• Simple commands – All features accessible through one root command: /PickupRange.

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader 0.16.14+ for Minecraft 1.20.1.
2. Install the Fabric API for Minecraft 1.20.1.
3. Place the compiled .jar of this mod into your mods/ folder.
4. Launch Minecraft with the Fabric profile.

Configuration

The mod configuration is stored in:

config/item_pickup_range.json

{
  "minPickupRange": 0.5,
  "maxPickupRange": 5.0
}

• minPickupRange: minimum allowed pickup range
• maxPickupRange: maximum allowed pickup range

Changing the values and reloading the config automatically adjusts players' current ranges.

Commands

All commands are under the root command: /PickupRange

How it works

• Player ranges are stored individually and saved to NBT, so they persist between sessions.
• The mod automatically clamps player values when the server starts or when the config is reloaded.
• Players are notified if their pickup range is adjusted due to new limits.

Development

• Language: Java
• Build System: Gradle with Fabric Loom
• Mixins used for injecting pickup range logic into PlayerEntity.
