Entity Cleaner
Entity Cleaner removes dropped items, arrows, XP orbs and other selected entities from a server after a configurable timer, so lag from entity buildup stays low.
What it does
On a server, the mod clears dropped items, XP orbs, projectiles such as arrows, snowballs and wither skulls, and other entities chosen in its config. Cleanup runs on a set interval, and items are only removed after a configured timer, which leaves players time to collect drops first. Mobs and mob farms are left alone by default, so spawning is not affected.
Server owners can enable or disable each category, including minecarts and boats, set how often the check runs, and choose whether players are notified when entities are removed. Operators can open the configuration menu in game with the ec command, or run the command with a player name as a tag. Entity Cleaner is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2, and its files also work as a data pack on server platforms.
A server needs the mod, while players may install it or join without it, so the mod works on the server side and clients can leave it out. Singleplayer Library is an optional dependency. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Cleanup clears the chosen entities on a timed schedule without manual commands, reducing buildup on a server.
Configurable categories
Each entity category can be enabled or disabled, so only the selected types are cleaned and everything else stays.
Cleanup timer
Items are cleared only after a configured delay, giving players time to pick up drops before they vanish.
In-game menu
An ec command opens a menu for operators to change settings in game, and a player-name tag can trigger it.
Cleanup notifications
Messages can be shown to players whenever a cleanup removes entities, and this is set in the config.
