Get It Together, Drops! in All the Mons

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

Get It Together, Drops! is a small quality-of-life and performance mod that adds tags and configuration options defining how dropped items combine on the ground. Instead of leaving dozens of separate item entities lying around, nearby drops merge into single stacks, which can significantly improve performance in areas with lots of dropped items like explosion craters or farms.^[1]

This pack ships version 1.3.2 of the mod, and it has been part of the pack since 0.32 or earlier, so it has been quietly cleaning up your item drops the whole time you have been playing.^[2]

Who it is for

You do not craft anything with this mod and you never interact with it directly. It is for anyone who mines, farms or blows things up at scale, which in a pack like this is basically everyone. It is especially handy on servers: the mod can be installed server-side without requiring players to install it, and it works just as well in singleplayer.^[1]

Where it fits in progression

There is no progression here. The mod has no items, no recipes and no quests in this pack, and it is not on the ATM Star path. Think of it as background infrastructure that makes your big mining trips and mob farms smoother rather than something you work toward.^[1]

What you can tune

• radius controls how large an area a dropped item searches for other drops to combine with, from 0.5 to 500. Setting it to 5.0 searches 5 blocks in all directions around the item, and 0.5 is vanilla behaviour. Note that this search does not take walls into account.^[1]
• checkY decides whether dropped items also check above and below themselves. False is vanilla behaviour.^[1]
• The item tag getittogetherdrops:do_not_combine stops the listed items from combining at all.^[1]
• The item tag getittogetherdrops:ignored makes the mod skip those items entirely so they fall back to vanilla behaviour, and it takes precedence over do_not_combine.^[1]

Unverified The exact radius and checkY values this pack uses are not confirmed by the available sources, so check the config in your world's serverconfig folder if you want to know the current settings.

Good news: there's nothing to craft here. Get It Together, Drops! doesn't add items you need to make, and no recipes in the pack produce anything from it. It works in the background and changes how dropped items on the ground combine into stacks.^[1]

What it does for you

The mod adds two configuration options that control how dropped items combine. That can significantly improve performance in places with lots of dropped items, like explosion craters or farms. It can also run on a server without players installing it, and it works in singleplayer.^[1]

The two options to know

• radius sets how far, in blocks, a dropped item looks around itself for other dropped items to combine with. It accepts values from 0.5 to 500, and 0.5 is vanilla behavior. For example, 5.0 searches 5 blocks in all directions. The check doesn't take walls into account.^[1][3]
• checkY decides whether dropped items also check above and below themselves. Set it to true to include those checks. False is vanilla behavior.^[1][3]

Controlling specific items

The mod also has two item tags for fine control. Items in getittogetherdrops:do_not_combine never combine at all. Items in getittogetherdrops:ignored are skipped by the mod and fall back to vanilla behavior. The ignored tag takes precedence over do_not_combine.^[1]

Unverified The values this pack actually uses for radius and checkY, and whether it changes the default tags, can't be confirmed from the available sources. Check the config in your world's serverconfig folder if you need the exact values.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Get It Together, Drops! has no machines, multiblocks, power or fluids. It does one job: it controls how dropped items on the ground merge into stacks. Two config options and two item tags are the whole mod, and the sources describe nothing else.^[1]

It can help performance in places with lots of dropped items, like explosion craters or farms. It can be installed on a server without players needing it, and it also works in singleplayer.^[1]

The two config options

• radius: the size of the area in which a dropped item searches for other dropped items to combine with. The range is 0.5 to 500, and 0.5 is vanilla behavior. Setting it to 5.0 searches 5 blocks in all directions around the item.^[1][3]
• checkY: set it to true and dropped items also check above and below themselves. Set it to false and they don't. False is vanilla behavior.^[1][3]

Item tags for fine control

Two item tags let you control specific items. Items in getittogetherdrops:do_not_combine do not combine at all. Items in getittogetherdrops:ignored are ignored by the mod and fall back to vanilla behavior.^[1]

What this pack does with it

Unverified The pack ships no config files for this mod, and no recipes produce its items. The values the pack uses for radius and checkY, and any items it puts in the two tags, could not be confirmed. The numbers above are the mod's documented options and vanilla defaults, not confirmed pack settings.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.50 guide

Get It Together, Drops! only has two config options, and both control how dropped items on the ground combine into stacks. That can help performance in spots with lots of loose items, like explosion craters or farms.^[1]

The two options

• radius: a value from 0.5 to 500 that sets how far a dropped item searches for other dropped items to combine with. Setting it to 5.0 searches 5 blocks in all directions around the item. A value of 0.5 is vanilla behavior, and walls are not taken into account.^[1]
• checkY: set it to true and dropped items also check above and below themselves. Set it to false and they don't. False is vanilla behavior.^[1]

Item tags

Two item tags give you per-item control. Items in getittogetherdrops:do_not_combine never combine at all. Items in getittogetherdrops:ignored are skipped by the mod and fall back to vanilla behavior. The ignored tag takes precedence over do_not_combine, so an item in both will behave like vanilla.^[1]

Unverified No config file for this mod was available for the pack, so I can't confirm what values the pack sets for radius and checkY, or whether it changed them from the mod's defaults. Check the mod's config in your own world or server before relying on any particular value.

All the Mons 1.3.0 includes Get It Together, Drops! version 1.4. It was first included in All the Mons 0.3.0-beta or earlier.^[4]

Mod changelog

• 1.4: Added support for NeoForge's configuration screen, so you can reach the mod's settings through the mods list.^[5]

Unverified The pack changelogs are not shown in the sources here for this mod, so any changes to it between All the Mons releases are not confirmed.
