Better Chest Drops
by emil24072009
Better Chest Drops changes what happens when a chest is opened in the world, so that its items can be dropped all at once or one stack at a time.
What it does
The mod changes how items inside a chest come out when the chest is broken or emptied. Players can choose a drop mode in which every item in the chest falls at once, or a mode that releases items one at a time with a delay between them. The drop rate follows a tick setting that the player can change, so the pace can be matched to the play style.
Server owners can use the tick settings to reduce lag on busy servers, where large numbers of items spilling out together can slow the game down. Better Chest Drops is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.21.11, and its latest file is 2.0.0. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Drop everything at once
Every item stored in a chest falls out in one action when the chest is broken or emptied.
One item at a time
A drop mode releases the contents of a chest one item per step, spreading the output over time.
Adjustable tick timing
The delay between dropped items is set in ticks and can be changed to suit the player's preference.
Lag reduction
Slower drop timing keeps large chest contents from flooding the world with entities at once.

Use cases
Busy servers
Server owners who run many players and storage-heavy bases can pick a timing that keeps item spills from straining the server.
Single-player clearing
Players who empty large storage rooms can use the all-at-once mode to collect everything without opening each chest.
Who it’s for: Players who empty chests often in survival or building projects, and server owners who want to limit the lag caused by large item drops.
