Auto Pickup

The Auto Pickup mod aims to make storage while mining, as well as many other tasks involving item collecting, significantly easier. This mod does away with blocks dropping after they are broken. Instead it automatically collects the item into your inventory.

This makes gathering items much quicker with less of chance of missing something when collecting. What makes this mod really interesting though is the use of a blacklist. This is great for avoiding many useless items that you don’t plan on ever using. So by entering a command like “/b add rotten_flesh” you’ll be able to skip out on collecting and hoarding so much rotten flesh from slain zombies.

What makes the use of the blacklist that much more intriguing is to utilize it while mining. If you only want ores and don’t want to continually make storage runs with cobble, sand, dirt, and gravel, then put those items on the blacklist. This way you won’t pick them up but you’ll still retain all the ores you find on your trek.

You can add items quickly to the list by throwing them out of your inventory by hitting Q. And to remove them from the blacklist so you can pick them up again, either type “/b remove [item]” or simply “/b clear” to remove everything from your list.

Improved Hoes

The Improved Hoes mod gives many advances to hoes in Minecraft. It makes farming significantly faster while also keeping it from being too much of an advantage for you. Essentially you still have to farm and harvest your crops but now it’s a little less tedious. The hoes will now auto-till a given square depending on which one you are using. Wood will give you one square, stone will make a 3×3 square, iron/gold will make a 5×5 square, and diamond will make a 7×7 square.

This makes for creating farms much quicker and easier. But even more helpful is the auto-harvesting. Once your crops are ready to harvest, just right-click with a hoe and every crop within radius will harvest. And even better with this method is the seeds will replant upon harvesting. So all you have to do is reap the benefits and wait for new crops to grow.

While harvesting and replanting is the most efficient use of this mod, you can also use different methods. If you just left click the crops with a hoe, they will all harvest in range but won’t replant.

And you can also shift + click to harvest just one crop at a time like you can without the mod installed.
