Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18–1.18.2Newest
Minecraft 1.17.1
Minecraft 1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

As the mod name, this mod void the pickup item that you have selected in your hotbar when it over a stack.

It's similar to an item called "/dev/null" from OpenBlocks, but it's just a function in your hotbar now.

The default hotkey is "comma".

Happy mining :)

I made this because other mods having a similar function are too overpowered for my taste.
