PickBack

PickBack

Undo Pick Block with one click.

PickBack adds a tiny quality-of-life improvement to Minecraft’s Pick Block feature.

Normally, pressing Pick Block can switch you away from the hotbar slot you were using—or even pull an item from your main inventory into your hotbar.

With PickBack, simply use Pick Block on empty air when you’re finished and it will return everything to how it was before.

Features

• Pick a block normally using Minecraft’s standard Pick Block control.
• Use Pick Block on empty air to return to your previous hotbar slot.
• If Pick Block moved an item from your main inventory into your hotbar, PickBack reverses the swap too.
• Works even if you’ve used some of the picked stack before returning it.
• Uses Minecraft’s normal inventory interactions rather than unsafe client-side item manipulation.
• Works with a full hotbar.
• Respects your existing Pick Block keybind.
• Client-side only.
• No configuration required.
• No extra keybinds.
• No menus.
• No unnecessary features.

PickBack is designed to do one thing and stay out of your way: make Pick Block reversible.

Example

You are holding your pickaxe in slot 1.

You Pick Block some stone from your inventory, and Minecraft moves it into your hotbar.

Build with the stone.

Then point at empty air and press Pick Block again.

PickBack returns the remaining stone to its original inventory slot, restores the item Minecraft displaced, and puts you back on your pickaxe.
