Description from the author on Modrinth

No Drop Hotbar

Tired of throwing your sword or your pickaxe away in the middle of a fight? No Drop Hotbar blocks the drop key while you are playing, so you can't lose your held item by accident. Opening your inventory or a chest changes nothing: the drop key works there as usual.

Features

  • Drop blocked in game: pressing the drop key with no screen open does nothing.
  • Inventory still works: dropping items from your inventory, chests and other containers is not affected.
  • Choose what is blocked: block only the normal drop, or also Ctrl + drop (the whole stack). The button shows your own drop key, so it matches your controls.
  • Enable / Disable the mod at any time from the menu.
  • Settings menu: press F9 to open it, even from the main menu. You can change the key in Options > Controls, under "No Drop Hotbar".
  • Mod Menu support: open the settings with the Configure button.
  • Client-side only: nothing to install on servers, and it works on any server.

Requirements

  • Fabric Loader
  • Fabric API
  • Mod Menu (optional)

Supported versions

One jar per Minecraft version: 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3 and 1.21.11. Download the file that matches your version.
