Ever accidentally threw your Netherite Pickaxe into the void because you pressed Q one too many times?
Accidental Drop Protection saves you from yourself.
When you press Q, the mod instantly evaluates how valuable the item in your hand is. Trash like dirt or rotten flesh drops normally — no popups, no annoyance. But try to drop something important like a Diamond Sword, Elytra, or a Shulker Box full of loot? You'll get a clear warning overlay. Press Q again within 1 second to confirm, or just... don't.
Features:
- Smart item evaluation based on rarity, enchantments, custom names, durability, and shulker contents
- Double-press Q confirmation — fast for trash, protective for valuables
- Colored warning tiers from casual orange to full red alert
- Adaptive learning — the mod learns which items you always drop and stops bothering you
- Shift+Q bypass when you really mean it
- Fully configurable — toggle protection for specific item types, adjust thresholds, change timing
No more accidental losses. No more walking back to where you were 10 minutes ago because you yeeted your Elytra off a cliff.
