by UltraGamer135

Clear Drops is a server-side Optimization mod that removes dropped items from the world on a fixed timer, distributed as a data pack.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.20 – 1.21.9

What it does

Dropped items on the ground are cleared automatically every 5 minutes. Before the clear runs, players receive a chat warning, a countdown and an action bar message, so they can pick up anything they want to keep. The clearing is driven by a datapack, and the license is Apache License 2.0 (open source).

Server owners can run the clear at any time with the cleardrops:clear function, restart the timer with cleardrops:loop if something interrupts it, or pause it with cleardrops:disable. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for 1.20 – 1.21.9. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it.

Key features
