Explain your idea

The capacitor backpack magnet addon is very useful on one hand; it allows you to easily snatch items while building, exploring, etc. Sometimes it is very annoying, however. It will grab items you intend to throw out, or while you stroll through your factory it will steal everything off of your conveyor belts. Therefore I propose that either a keybind or some way to toggle the magnet be added, or if it could at the very least not take items off of conveyors. I know you could just cover conveyors but that is expensive and time consuming, at which point, why bother? And I know you can just take it off in an engineer's workbench, but doing that every time that you want to throw some loot away is slow and inconvenient.

Thats a problem with magnets from other mods to.

So maybe a kind of "Magnet supressor" (a device, that disables magnets in a certain area) would be a great solution

I just checked, in my dev environment, the conveyors are immune to magnets, as intended.
I'm wearing the backpack with the magnet upgrade, it is not pulling from the belt. It will pull items thrown next to the belt.

So as far as I can tell the conveyor-based suppression is working.

Are you sure, that this also works for magnets from other mods ?

I hat several issues that Magnets from botania, suphisticated backpacks or draconic evolution are pulling items from convers and even from machines e.g. the press

That's not my responsibility??
We use the agreed upon NBT data key PreventRemoteMovement. That was agreed upon by the devs of a few of the larger mods, years ago. If other mods don't respect that, that's on them to fix, not us.

As for items getting pulled off of the press, that only happens if you let them pile up there.

You are also disregarding the original issue here, because @TreeVirus was specifically reporting the magnet upgrade from our own Accumulator Backpack. And so that is what I investigated.

Okay, I understand your point.

Then I should report this issue to the other mods, and can refer your answer including the hint about using PreventRemoteMovement.
