ClearItems
ClearItems is a Fabric item cleanup mod that removes dropped items from a server and reports the countdown to players through the action bar.
What it does
ClearItems removes dropped items on a schedule and shows the time left as text in the action bar, the line above the hotbar, instead of a boss bar. Its alerts shift from green to yellow to red as the next cleanup nears, so players see the countdown without a separate overlay on the HUD. Command blocks and scripts can trigger a cleanup without operator status, because the logic is decoupled from the isOp check and a permission mod can handle access instead.
The mod runs on the client, the server, or both, and it is open source under the MIT License. Installation needs Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, with v1.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest build from 2026-03-20.
Key features
Scheduled item cleanup
Dropped items are removed on a timer, which helps large modpacks and busy servers keep entity counts down.
Action bar countdown
The time until the next cleanup is shown in the action bar, and the color changes from green to yellow to red as it approaches.
Permission decoupling
Cleanup can be invoked from command blocks and scripts by non-operator players, with access controlled by a permission mod.
Whitelist query
The clearitems list command shows the items on the whitelist, so server owners can check what is protected from removal.
Display toggle system
A display toggle system controls the countdown overlay, and further display customization options are planned for a later update.

How it compares
Editable Actionbar is a client-side only Fabric mod under the Apache License 2.0, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it changes only the action bar on the player's own game. SerendiClear is server-side only under the MIT License and published for 26.2, so players join without installing anything. Bossbar Tweaks is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.21.9 – 26.2 for players who prefer a boss bar display.
