hotkey to collect nearest item on the ground

[iamah]

hit space bar and the character goes to the closest item in a certain range and picks it up... if there's a pile, pick the first one... this would save a lot of energy in the long run

[Dallane]

with permadeath one cannot afford to play zoomed in... picking stuff in the ground is a pain

use a custom client. it will solve both your problems

The item radar from custom clients is intended to be implemented in the main client from what Loftar has told me. So no, it's not cheating. It's just low down on the current priority list.

Dear god please make it BD radar and not enders

You can right click items on the mini map to pick them up (using Enders)

It will be neither actually. Loftar will probably program his own from scratch.

I do that on Ender's, but sometimes you can't even do that, if you're on top of the item you have to walk and then pick...

my OP suggestion was a simple hotkey to pick the nearest random item on the ground... many times you just have 1 single item near you, like a cricket... you could just hit spacebar and it would move to it and pick it, or pick the first in a pile of things... this is common in MMOs because on the long run saves a lot of tiresome interactions

oh god yes,this would be so useful

[Ass_Kraken]

This would be great.
