Key Features

Instant Inventory Pickup

• Drops are collected the moment they spawn as item entities
• Works naturally with standard block breaking, containers, and mob kills
• Container handling: All container types drop directly to inventory when broken
• Creative mode protection: Players in Creative are automatically ignored
• Inventory full handling: Remaining items stay on the ground with a throttled notification
• Native "pick up" feedback for every collected item

Smart Tree Detection (BFS)

• Configurable scan patterns: Define which block types are part of a tree (trunk, branch, leaves, roots)
• Separate trigger patterns: Only trunk/branch blocks trigger the scan, leaves alone don't
• Performance capped: Configurable max blocks (default: 1024) and max scan radius (default: 40)
• Drop offset tolerance: ±1 block face neighbor check to catch items spawning slightly off center
• Works with any tree size: From small saplings to massive ancient trees.

AutoSmelt

• Fully configurable recipes: Define input, output, and amount per recipe in config
• 10 default ore recipes: Copper, Iron, Gold, Silver, Cobalt, Mithril, Adamantite, Thorium, Onyxium, Prisma
• Per player toggle: Players can enable/disable autosmelt with [ICODE]/autosmelt[/ICODE]
• Global config control: Must be enabled in config before players can use it
• Separate permission: [ICODE]talepickup.smelt[/ICODE] for autosmelt access

Mob Drop Pickup

• Automatically picks up drops from mobs killed by the player
• Configurable pickup volume around mob death position (radius and height)
• Can be enabled/disabled independently from block pickup
• Respects the same whitelist/blacklist filters as block drops

Item Filtering

• Whitelist mode: Only pick up specific items
• Blacklist mode: Pick up everything except specific items
• Both modes are independently toggleable
