How do I install this?

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)

    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

    Makes the game feel a little more like Minecraft if that is what you're looking for

    This makes it feel more like Minecraft if that is what you want, I think this is well done. I haven't found any bugs. My only problem with it is that you have to get quite close to the item before you can pick it up.

    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.

    Unwanted realism adds work

    I'm afraid I don't see the point of extra realism when the game has floating blocks of stone... True I sometimes smirk at being able to reach 5 metres across a chasm to mine some ore and retrieve it like magic but like I said, floating stone, so why not?

    Mas intuitivo

    Este mod hace mas intuitivo recoger los bloques a comparación de que aparescan sin aviso en tu inventario despues de romperlos como en Minetest Game
