Item Obliterator is a powerful utility mod designed to give modpack creators and players granular control over the items present in their Minecraft worlds. It addresses the common issue of unwanted or unbalanced items that can disrupt gameplay, clutter creative inventories, or conflict with other mods. By allowing users to selectively disable items and their associated interactions, this mod ensures a cleaner, more tailored, and optimized gaming experience, preventing potential imbalances and improving overall game management for complex modpacks. This comprehensive control extends to various aspects of item behavior, making it an indispensable tool for anyone looking to refine their Minecraft experience. This mod operates by intercepting and modifying item behaviors through a flexible JSON configuration system. It goes beyond simple item removal, offering a comprehensive suite of options to manage items. This includes completely removing them from inventories, preventing them from being dropped, and eliminating them from creative tabs. Furthermore, it can remove all associated recipes, including crafting, furnace, and custom mod recipes, and also purges any trades involving the specified items from villagers. The mod also boasts NBT removal capabilities, allowing for the precise disabling of specific potion effects or enchanted books, and integrates seamlessly with popular inventory and recipe viewers like JEI, REI, and EMI to ensure banned items do not appear, providing a truly clean and controlled environment. Item Obliterator offers broad compatibility across various mod loaders and Minecraft versions, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of setups. It supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt loaders. For Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge, it is compatible with Minecraft versions ranging from 1.19.2 up to the latest 1.21 and 1.21.1. For Forge, compatibility extends from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1. This mod is required on both the client and the server to ensure full functionality, as it manages both client-side visual elements like creative tabs and server-side game logic such as recipe and trade removal. While it can function server-side only, certain features like JEI/REI/EMI and creative tab removals will not be active in that configuration, highlighting the benefits of a full client-server installation. Installing Item Obliterator is straightforward and involves placing the mod file into the correct directory for your chosen mod loader. For Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge, the mod file should be placed in the 'mods' folder. For Forge, it also goes into the 'mods' folder. Before launching the game, ensure that you have the correct version of the mod installed for your Minecraft version and mod loader. Additionally, verify that your JSON configuration file, named 'item obliterator.json5' for versions 2.0.0 and above, or 'item obliterator.json' for older versions, is correctly placed within the 'config' folder and is properly formatted to avoid any unintended consequences or errors. Proper configuration is key to unlocking the full potential of this powerful item management tool.
