Get It Together, Drops! in All the Mods 10

Get It Together, Drops! is a small utility mod that controls how dropped items combine on the ground. It adds two configuration options and two item tags. That's all it does, and it doesn't add any new items or blocks.^[1]

Its main job is performance. When you have lots of dropped items in one spot, like an explosion crater or a farm, combining them more aggressively can help a lot.^[1]

What you can tune

• radius: a value from 0.5 to 500 that sets how far a dropped item searches for other drops to combine with. A setting of 5.0 searches 5 blocks in all directions, and 0.5 is vanilla behavior. Walls are not taken into account.^[1]
• checkY: set it to true and dropped items also check above and below themselves. False is vanilla behavior.^[1]
• The tag getittogetherdrops:do_not_combine stops the items in it from combining at all.^[1]
• The tag getittogetherdrops:ignored makes the mod skip the items in it, so they fall back to vanilla behavior. This tag takes precedence over do_not_combine.^[1]

Who it's for

It's for anyone who farms or blows up a lot of stuff and wants fewer item entities lying around. It can be installed on a server without players needing it, and it also works in singleplayer.^[1]

In this pack

This pack, at version 8.1, includes Get It Together, Drops! 1.4 for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.5. It was already in the pack as of version 2.25 or earlier.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't show whether this pack changes any default values for radius or checkY, or whether it adds items to the two tags. They also don't show any quests or a place on the ATM Star path for this mod, so check your own config before relying on specific values.

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.

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.

Get It Together, Drops! has been in and out of the pack over time. Here is what the pack changelogs show, in order.^[2][4][5][6]

• All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier: the mod was already in the pack by this point, and that is the earliest version the pack data places it in.^[2]
• All the Mods 10 3.2: the mod was removed from the pack.^[6]
• All the Mods 10 4.0: the mod was added, at version 1.3.2.^[5]
• All the Mods 10 4.5: the mod was updated from 1.3.2 to 1.4.^[4]

What you get in 8.1

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Get It Together, Drops! 1.4, using the file getittogetherdrops-neoforge-1.21.5-1.4.jar. That is the same version the pack moved to in 4.5.^[2][4]

Unverified The pack changelogs only say which versions were added, removed or updated. What actually changed inside the mod between 1.3.2 and 1.4 is unverified, because no mod changelog is stored for the shipped jar. The reason for the removal in 3.2 is also unverified.
