Features
(Your vanilla experience will be further enhanced thanks to these features)
Modded servers can sometimes encounter an issue where dropped items do not despawn after 5 minutes. This results in unnecessary server lag due to entities. This simple mod aims to fix that by clearing dropped items every 10 minutes. This can be useful in a heavily modded environment where lots of players have dropped unwanted items on the ground that have not despawned and cause users to suffer entity lag. A warning message is displayed 10 minutes and 1 minute prior to clearing ground items. You can also change the duration of the timer using datapacks found at the GamerPotion support Discord #files section.
