FXClear Items
by brizaz
FXClear Items is a NeoForge server mod that removes dropped items from the world after a configurable amount of time.
What it does
Stray stacks on the ground add to server lag, and FXClear Items keeps the world clean by removing them automatically. The cleanup timer is set in a configuration file, and the removal can be limited to chosen items. Players who enter the area see fewer stray stacks on the ground, and the server does less work tracking them.
Before each cleanup, the mod broadcasts a warning message to players. Named items can be kept, and specific items can be excluded through a whitelist. A count of the items removed is displayed after each run. Two commands, fxclear reload and fxclear status, let an operator apply configuration changes or check the current state without restarting the server.
Only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing anything. It runs on dedicated servers and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with the latest file dated 2026-08-10. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
Automatic item cleanup
Dropped items are removed on a timer, so the ground stays clear without manual work from operators.
Configurable timer
The delay before removal is set in a configuration file and can be tuned for each server.
Warnings before cleanup
Players receive a broadcast message shortly before items are removed, so they have time to pick up what they need.
Keep named items and whitelist
Named items can be preserved, and a whitelist excludes specific items from removal.
