I don't know my version or loader
Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Hand Over Your Items is a mod which allows players to give items to someone else without dropping them on the floor. You don't want dirt on the freshly baked bread for your friend do you? By default a player has to crouch + right-click another player for them to give an item. The entire itemstack in the main hand is given. If there is no room in the target's inventory, the items will be dropped on the ground.
By default each player receives a message, this can be changed in the config. Can be used server-side only, but this may cause some desyncs with the client. Both server and client install is recommended.
Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
sendItemReceivedMessage (default = true): If enabled, players will receive a message when they have been given an item.
sendItemGivenMessage (default = true): If enabled, players will receive a message when they give an item.
mustCrouchToGiveItem (default = true): If enabled, players will only be able to give items when they are crouching/sneaking.

Here the target player does not have enough room in their inventory so the items are dropped on the floor:
