Disable players from dropping items

[neon zodiac]

Any good way to do what the above is? havnt touched 1.20.5+ yet, and now im in 1.21.5 trying some things out. this is what I have on loop for stopping item drops atm, but its a bit janky.

execute as @e[type=item] at @s run data modify entity @s Owner set from entity @p UUID
execute as @e[type=item] run data modify entity @s PickupDelay set value 0

Trying to do like a set inventory layout of hotbar buttons

There is not really a better solution with less jank than this.
