How to use

1. Press G to open the Drop Guard menu. The key can be changed under Minecraft's Controls settings.
2. Choose Configure inventory to click items currently in your inventory, hotbar, armor or offhand slots.
3. Choose Individual items to search through all available items.
4. Click an item to enable or disable drop protection.
5. Open Settings to customize how protected items are displayed.

Selection modes

• Exact stack: protects only the selected stack.
• Entire item type: protects every stack of that item type.

Slot protection follows the selected inventory slot. If the item in that slot changes, the new item remains protected until it leaves the protected slot.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21-26.2
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Mod Menu is optional

Compatibility

Drop Guard is completely client-side. It works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers without requiring the server to install the mod.

Drop Guard prevents manual item dropping. It does not prevent items from being lost through death, lava, commands or other server-side actions.
