KillFallingBlocks

by Jecobe

KillFallingBlocks removes falling block entities, such as sand and gravel, as they drop, which cuts lag in worlds full of them.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.19.1 – 1.21.5

What it does

Falling sand and gravel are normally kept as entities until they land, and a large field of them can slow a server. The mod, a Data pack for the server, ends each falling block entity when it drops, so the item stays and the entity does not. The server runs it, and players may add it without changing anything on their side. Installation covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19.1 – 1.21.5, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Falling entities removed on landing

    Falling block entities are ended as soon as they drop, leaving only the placed block behind.

  2. Lower lag in sand-heavy worlds

    Superflat or sand-covered worlds with many falling blocks cause less server load after an update.

  3. Data pack delivery

    The behavior is supplied as a Data pack, so it works on loaders that accept datapacks and needs no custom code.

What the author says

This datapack kills the falling block entity. That is it. The falling block entity disappears with no drop. That's the only function of this datapack. Best Use Case: To lower the lag caused from superflat world full of sand falling from a block update.
