How to Use a Basic Magnet to Pick Up Items

Getting Started

Craft a Basic Magnet, then hold it in your main hand or offhand. While it is held (or simply in your inventory, depending on how it is configured), it will pull nearby dropped items toward you so you do not have to walk over each one. Move through an area you just mined or fought in, and the items will fly to you and be collected automatically.

Tuning the Pull

If items are flying in from too far away or not far enough, open the magnet's settings. Magnets in this mod typically let you adjust the radius and toggle whether the magnet is active. Increase the radius when clearing a large area, and shrink it when you only want items right next to you. Remember that a magnet only affects items — it will not pull mobs or blocks.

Practical Tips

• Keep the magnet in your hotbar so you can quickly swap it out.
• If you are near a farm or storage system and do not want items yanked toward you, disable the magnet or switch to a different slot.
• Combine it with a backpack or shulker in your inventory so collected items have somewhere to go.
• If the magnet stops working, check that it has not been turned off in its settings and that no demagnetization coil is nearby.
