Item Despawn Notifier
by Kriptide
Item Despawn Notifier sends a chat message to players whenever a dropped item entity despawns in the world.
What it does
Every notice states what kind of block the item vanished from, when it happened, where it was, and how many units were in the stack, which helps a player judge the loss. The mod is a Fabric server mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. The first release, 1.0.0, targets 1.21.11 and is published under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.
