    Hey everyone,

    Over the past couple of days I've had several players ask me if we could make a plugin that allows us to toggle whether or not we pick up items when someone drops them.

    For example, when I'm at the spawn of PVP Fest, I automatically pick up items that I don't want (stone swords, leather armor, books, etc.) and they take up valuable space in my inventory. I believe we should have a command that toggles this action.

    I understand there are "disposals" but they aren't really the most convenient thing in the world. A command would be both convenient and more functional.
    What do you guys think? Do you mind picking up items you don't want?

    Thanks,
    David

    So a way to toggle picking up items entirely? Or a way to toggle which items you pick up? The former would be very easy, the latter would be... interesting.

    I'm fine with it, but I see a grammar error. "I understand their" :p It should be there

    I was originally intending for the former but, yes, the latter would be interesting. It seems as if choosing which items you want to pick up would be hard for both you to develop and for the player to command?

    It wouldn't be difficult to develop but it'd be annoying for players. I can just disable picking up of items entirely and then maybe allow players to whitelist which items they want to pick up? Like /pickup diamond_sword - to all you to pick up swords and nothing else.

    That would work. But how would they blacklist the item? I think it would be more beneficial to disable the pickup of items as an entirety.

    I would only allow disabling of pickup entirely or whitelisting.

    Please!!! I hate it when I randomly pick up stone swords when I see a diamond sword and theres no space in my inventory, and then I have to press Q over and over to get rid of things, and then someone else picks the diamond sword up!

    But that would be too long, becuase when you are in battle and you are trying to type then someone kills you.

    That's why you'd type it out at spawn.

    I would be in favor of toggling the pickup of items as a while rather than just specific ones.

    I think this is a good idea!! When we walk past a pile of crap, and we see a diamond sword... a thing pops up and lists the most OP things in order, then we click the diamond sword so then it will place it in our inventory!

    I think it would be a good idea. Like drtshock said, just have it so that players can whitelist items they want to pick up and they would only pick up items on their whitelist, all items that weren't put on the list will not get picked up by that player.

    I'm already done with the plugin :) Just need to test, figure out which rank gets it, and put it in production later.

    you could have like 2 teams and in 1 team they only pick up diamond stuff or something and in the other they pick up all. i understand it would be hard but just a suggestion

    I'll wait for @CollinPotato to decide on which rank he wants to give this to and I'll have to test this with the beta team tomorrow because I have to pick up a relative from the airport in a few.
