Better Looting Mod reworks item pickups by stopping your inventory from filling with unwanted junk blocks. When you walk near dropped items, a floating window pops up on your screen instead of pulling everything straight into your pockets. You pick and choose the exact loot you need using your mouse wheel and grab items with a key press. It brings classic RPG item selection into your daily mining and hunting trips.
