Good Clumps
by tmpim
Good Clumps merges nearby dropped item entities into single stacks on Beta-era Minecraft, so piles of loose items take up fewer entity slots.
What it does
Dropped items that sit within a 1×1×1 area are combined once they have been stationary for 40 ticks, and the merge is checked again after 2 ticks of movement. The result is fewer separate item entities in the world, which is the main purpose of the mod on this old version.
Good Clumps runs on Fabric and Babric and needs Fabric Language Kotlin, Glass Config API and StationAPI to load. Mod Menu is optional and adds the in-game Babric configuration screen. The mod works on a client, on a server, or on both, and neither side needs it. Files are published for Beta-era builds only, with snapshot builds also published, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
Key features
Nearby item merging
Dropped items inside the same 1×1×1 area are merged into one entity after they stop moving.
Movement-aware timing
Items that are still moving are not merged, and the check waits 40 ticks of rest before combining them.
In-game configuration
With Mod Menu installed, the merge settings can be changed from the Babric configuration screen.

Use cases
Busy mining areas
Players who leave many dropped blocks in one spot on a Beta world can keep fewer separate item entities around.
Multiplayer servers
A server owner running a Beta world can add the mod on the server alone, since clients do not need it.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners running Beta-era Minecraft on Fabric or Babric who want fewer loose item entities in their worlds.
