ClearLags
by Satanas1275
ClearLags is a server-side Fabric mod that removes dropped items on a configurable timer, so ground items stop piling up in long-running worlds.
What it does
Dropped items are cleared automatically when the countdown reaches zero, and the interval is set in the config, with a default of 60 seconds. Before each clear, a warning broadcast tells players how many seconds remain, and the wording of that message can be customized or turned off in the chat settings. A manual clearlags command lets an operator trigger a clear at any time, and the mod reports how many items were removed.
ClearLags needs Fabric API. The server must run it, while players may add it on their own side, since the mod does not require a client install. Players who install it on their client can enable an optional HUD overlay, a small square in the corner that counts down the seconds until the next clear; it can be moved or turned off. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. Files exist for 26.2, the latest being 1.0.0, published on 2026-06-25.
