Description from the author on Hangar

Be sure to check the config for any changes when updating for the plugin to work properly!

  • /auto - autopickup.pickup.mined (Enables auto pickup)
  • /auto reload - autopickup.admin (Reloads config)
  • /autodrops - autopickup.pickup.entities (Mob drops)
  • /autosmelt - autopickup.pickup.mined.autosmelt (Auto Smelt)
  • autopickup.pickup.mined.autoenabled (Automatically enables when a player joins the server)
  • autopickup.pickup.entities.autoenabled (Automatically enables when a player joins the server)
  • autopickup.pickup.mined.autosmelt.autoenabled (Automatically enables when a player joins the server)

I recommend using LuckPerms as a permission plugin!

How to install AutoPickup

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 1.16 – 1.19.

  2. Download the .jar file from Hangar and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: AutoPickup should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
