Despawn Timer
by Bobbyak337
Despawn Timer shows a countdown above dropped items so players can see when each one will disappear from the world.
What it does
Items on the ground normally vanish after a fixed time, and the countdown is hidden until they are gone. This Forge mod displays the remaining time over each item, letting players decide whether to pick it up in time. It needs to run on the server, while a client may also install it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 only, on Forge, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Visible despawn countdown
A timer above each dropped item shows how long remains before it disappears from the world.
Customizable timer chat
The messages that report the countdown in chat can be adjusted to suit the server's preferences.
Server-side timing
The despawn logic runs on the server, so every player on a server running the mod sees the same countdown.
