[MGG] Magnetic – The Smart Way to Collect Drops in Minecraft
Few things slow down a Minecraft session like chasing scattered drops across a dark cave. You mine a vein of iron, break a spawner, or cut down a tree, and suddenly half your playtime disappears into item roundups. [MGG] Magnetic solves that problem at the server level, pulling nearby drops and experience orbs toward players automatically, with no client mods and no resource packs required.
What [MGG] Magnetic Does
At its core, this is a server-side plugin that changes how items reach the player. Instead of walking over every drop, you let the plugin handle the pickup logic. The headline feature is the Magnetic Enchantment, which automatically attracts nearby dropped items and experience while you use an enchanted tool. A second option, Sneaky Magnetic, only collects drops while you crouch, which is ideal for players who want control rather than constant suction.
Collection works across mining, broken blocks, and defeated mobs, and experience orbs are pulled in alongside regular items. The plugin also animates items as they move toward the player, with configurable movement speed, so pickups look smooth instead of teleporting instantly into your inventory.
Activation Options and Custom Rules
Not every server wants the same behavior, so [MGG] Magnetic for Minecraft ships with flexible activation conditions. You can choose between Always, Enchantment, Permission, or Sneak activation, then combine rules with AND/OR logic to fine-tune exactly when collection triggers.
- Always – collection is active whenever the plugin allows it
- Enchantment – requires a tool carrying Magnetic or Sneaky Magnetic
- Permission – grants access through the mgg.magnetic.use node
- Sneak – activates only while the player is crouching
Inventory protection is another thoughtful addition. Collected items pass through an inventory buffer, and players receive configurable full-inventory alerts via sound, chat, or title notifications, each with its own cooldown. Item and entity filters let admins exclude specific blocks, entities, or tags from collection, which keeps unwanted drops out of the system.
Enchantments, Books, and Loot Tables
Magnetic enchanted books can optionally appear in loot tables and villager trades, and each source can be toggled separately. Changes to enchanted book availability require a server restart, so plan those tweaks accordingly. The plugin also includes a native in-game help dialogue, reachable through the /magnetic command, that explains both enchantments and how to use them.
