Game Mechanics Click to pickup items

I'm tired of having my inventory fill up with cheap loot during grinding sessions. All MMORPG games give the player a choice whether to pick up the item or not, so why can't Wynncraft have this too?

Just make the player only pick up items when sneaking and looking at the items, or something like that. Everyone would benefit. That's basically the whole suggestion.

Of course, this feature should be able to be disabled, and equipment that increases pickup range should be rebalanced or reimplemented.

Edit: why do you thing it's related to modding in any way? Minecraft has intended ways to make the items not able to be picked up, without mods of any kind. It's not hard to implement. I repeat, modding has nothing to do with this, it's a server-side thing.

 

I agree with this... to an extent. One thing to note is that this might not be possible to implement in Wynncraft without modding. I'm pretty sure the nature of Minecraft items is that they will automatically go into your inventory. One possible way to add this would probably be to make a custom entity for every possible dropped item in the game, though at that point its probably not worth the effort.

I would appreciate if someone more knowledgeable about plugin code than I would help enlighten me about the feasibility of this suggestion.

 

you can just throw it out
and I feel like any kind of modding to make this possible would just drag my performance and frames down even further and wouldn't add enough to be worth it

 

Yes, this is how items work, however items have an NBT tag that indicates the time after which they can be picked up. It can be manipulated to make the item only be able to be picked up whenever a player desires so. https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Item_(entity), quoting: "PickupDelay: The number of ticks the item cannot be picked up. Decreases by 1 per tick. If set to 32767, the PickupDelay does not decrease, preventing the item from being picked up."

 

I feel like this is a solution to a problem that does not exist, and would cause more problems than it would fix, like fresher players not picking up quest items and flooding the questions forum

 

Just make it toggled off by default then./make an exception to quest items

 

Then add the mechanic in the tutorial

 

still this requires more player input -> more annoying -> I have to click more to get items rather than just holding the q button to throw everything out

unless it's toggleable but then no one would use it
