DarkTimer

by GamerPotionDev

DarkTimer clears dropped items on a timer, so servers with heavy item loot can shed entities before they add up to lag.

What it does

DarkTimer is an optimization mod that removes dropped items after a set interval, reducing the number of entities a server must track. The author describes its purpose as lowering server lag by clearing items roughly every 10 minutes. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Either side can run it and neither needs it, so installing it on the server alone is enough for the cleanup to take effect. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Timed item cleanup

    Dropped items are removed on a repeating timer, so loot piles do not accumulate on busy servers.

  2. Server-side operation

    The cleanup runs on the server, and the author describes it as supported there.

  3. Related DarkRPG content

    The same author made DarkRPG, a full RPG pack that adds quests and RPG gameplay on top of vanilla.
