Disable Item drops

 This would be amazing for map makers. Instead of making command chains and clocks and stuff, it could be as simple as /gamerule ItemDrops true/false This could prevent players from throwing extremely valuable items away that eventually you would need to not have anyways. Example:

 

Player receives valuable Item

Player needs to eventually donate valuable item

Instead, the player throws the items into some exposed lava

 

If this happened, it would be extremely useful. Thanks for reading.

    hmm... u need to explain more, i mean does this gamerule affect droppers? i mean this gamerule would only prevent player from droping items or it would prevent items from exist?

    This is already possible with the current commands; we don't need a new gamerule.

    It's as simple as putting this command into a repeating command block in a constantly loaded chunk, or putting it in a function tagged in #minecraft:tick

    /execute as @e[type=item] run data merge entity @s {PickupDelay:0s}

    This makes it impossible to drop any time because you will instantly pick it up again. You can optimize it so that it only affects items that have the Age 0 (i.e. the only items that could have been recently dropped).

    /execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Age:0s}] run data merge entity @s {PickupDelay:0s}

    You can further make it more specific so that it only affects items of a specific type (I used stone as an example):

    /execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Age:0s,Item:{id:"minecraft:stone"}}] run data merge entity @s {PickupDelay:0s}

    or items with some other NBT tag (I used "items enchanted with Sharpness V" as an example here):

    /execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Age:0s,Item:{tag:{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:5}]}}}] run data merge entity @s {PickupDelay:0s}

    You can see a full list of all the different NBT tags that an item could have here:

    Hope this helps!
