Blocked — item filter mod for a clean Minecraft inventory

Blocked Mod: Master Your Minecraft Inventory with Forge and Fabric

Every Minecraft survivor knows the pain of a cluttered inventory. You are deep in a cave, focused on mining ore, and suddenly your slots fill with gravel, rotten flesh, or stacks of cobblestone. Sorting through that mess wastes time and breaks your flow. Blocked Mod: Master Your Minecraft Inventory with Forge and Fabric solves this problem at its root. Instead of managing junk after you pick it up, this mod simply prevents unwanted items from entering your inventory in the first place.

This is not a complex sorting system or a heavy automation tool. It is a lightweight filter that works in real time. You decide which items are allowed and which are blocked. The mod handles the rest silently, keeping your hotbar and storage clean during any activity, whether you are farming mobs, mining, or exploring modded dimensions.

Why Use Blocked Mod: Master Your Minecraft Inventory with Forge and Fabric

The core idea is straightforward: full control over item pickup. If you are running a mob farm and only want bones, you block arrows and rotten flesh. If you are strip-mining and only care about ores, you block cobblestone and dirt. The mod does not delete items from the world; it just stops them from being added to your inventory. This saves inventory space and reduces the need for constant sorting or throwing items away.

Another advantage is the persistence of settings. Your configuration is saved between sessions, so you do not need to reconfigure the mod every time you launch the game. For players using large modpacks, the ability to filter items from other mods is essential. The mod integrates cleanly with both major loaders, making it a versatile addition to almost any setup.

Compatibility and Loader Support

Blocked Mod: Master Your Minecraft Inventory with Forge and Fabric supports both the Forge and Fabric mod loaders. For Fabric, you will need Fabric API installed as a dependency. The mod is designed to work with a wide range of Minecraft versions, so check the specific build you download for the version number that matches your game. The JAR file you download must correspond to both your Minecraft version and your chosen loader.

How to Install Blocked Mod: Master Your Minecraft Inventory with Forge and Fabric

The installation process is quick and does not require any advanced technical knowledge. Before you start, ensure that the appropriate mod loader is already installed on your system. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you use Forge or Fabric.

Installing on Forge

• Install the correct Forge version for your Minecraft release using the official installer.
• Download the Forge-specific JAR file for the mod.
• Open your Minecraft game directory and navigate to the mods folder.
• Place the JAR file into the mods folder.
• Launch the game using the Forge profile in your launcher.

Installing on Fabric

• Install Fabric Loader using the official Fabric installer.
• Download Fabric API and place it into the mods folder. This is a required library.
• Download the Fabric-specific JAR file for the mod.
• Move the JAR file into the same mods folder.
• Select the Fabric profile in your launcher and start the game.

If you prefer a more automated approach, some third-party launchers offer built-in mod catalogs. These tools can handle the download and placement of mod files automatically, reducing the risk of version mismatches. However, manual installation remains the most reliable method for ensuring compatibility.

Using the In-Game Filter Interface

Once installed, the mod is ready to use immediately. There are no complicated commands to learn. Press the default key B to open the main filter interface. You will see a grid displaying icons for every item available in the game, including items from other installed mods.

The controls are intuitive:

• Left-click an item icon to toggle its state between allowed and blocked.
• Blocked items are highlighted with a red overlay or strikethrough.
• Changes apply instantly without needing to reload the world.
• A search bar at the top lets you find specific items quickly, even in modpacks with hundreds of entries.

This interface is particularly useful for large modpacks where manually scrolling through every item would be tedious. The search function filters results by name, so you can locate a specific block or item in seconds.

Advanced Configuration with JSON

For server administrators or players who prefer text-based configuration, the mod provides a config file named Blocked.json in the config folder of your game directory. The file contains two arrays: forceBlocked and forceCantBlock.

Use forceBlocked to permanently lock certain items from being picked up. Players cannot override this through the interface. Use forceCantBlock to protect specific items from being blocked, ensuring valuable resources are always collectible. Item IDs are written in the format modid:item.

An example configuration might look like this:

{
  "forceBlocked": ["minecraft:rotten_flesh", "minecraft:gravel"],
  "forceCantBlock": ["minecraft:diamond", "minecraft:netherite_scrap"]
}

After editing the file, restart the game to apply the new rules. The mod handles invalid entries gracefully, ignoring typos or incorrect IDs without crashing the game.
