How to Stop Dropped Items from Bobbing

In vanilla Minecraft, dropped items constantly float and bob up and down. Dropped Item Tweaks includes a feature called Static Dropped Items that changes this visual behavior.

Enabling Static Dropped Items

1. From the game's title screen or the pause menu, open Mod Menu.

2. Locate Dropped Item Tweaks Mod in your installed mod list.

3. Click the mod's configuration button to open its settings menu.

4. Find the Static Dropped Items option and toggle it on.

5. Save your changes and return to the game.

What Changes in Game

Once enabled, the up-and-down bobbing motion is completely removed from rendered items resting on the ground. Instead of floating vertically, dropped items will remain at a fixed height and only rotate in place. This provides a cleaner visual presentation in areas with numerous items scattered around, such as mob farms or inventory sorting areas, without affecting item pickup mechanics or normal item despawn timers.
