About this project
What does Sweeper Maid add?
Abstract
This is an optimization mod. The sweeper cleans all dropped items at regular intervals and collects them in a "dustbin". No only dropped items but also other entities (default arrows and spectral arrows) can be swept to improve the performance of server.
Client side is not required. This mod can work at server side only like a plugin.
Dustbin
All collected dropped items will show up in the 54-slot dustbin temporarily. Use command /sweepermaid dustbin to open the dustbin. You can also set the permission level of it in configuration.
Configuration
The sweeper's cool down, other types of entities to be swept, and even messages that will be sent to client players can be configurated. The config file is located in config/sweeper_maid-common.toml.
