What it does

Dropped items pile up on busy servers and cost performance. ItemCleaner removes them so the server runs with less load. Its chests hold semi-unlimited stacks, which suits shared storage on a multiplayer world, and its trash menu includes a scrollbar for moving items out of the way quickly. Only the server and players who join it need the mod to run together, and builds exist only for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Dropped item cleanup

    Dropped items are removed from the world, reducing the entity load that causes server lag.

  2. Semi-unlimited chest stacks

    Chests store items in stacks far larger than the vanilla limit, which helps public storage.

  3. Trash menu scrollbar

    The trash menu has a scrollbar, so a long list of items can be cleared without leaving the screen.
