What is the Drop Prevent mod? 🦐
Ever dropped your sword in the middle of a fight? Or accidentally thrown a shulker box straight into lava?
This mod protects you from mistakes like that!
It disables the drop key for selected inventory slots, preventing accidental item drops during normal gameplay. By default, it protects items in your hotbar. You can also enable protection for the entire inventory. Items can still be removed intentionally by dragging them out of the inventory screen.
