Lag Clear
by ByDeltaNW
Lag Clear is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that removes dropped items lying on the ground every five minutes.
What it does
The cleanup targets items that have fallen or been thrown onto the floor and are left there. Items sitting in inventories or in containers are not touched. The removal runs on a timer, and a countdown warns players before each cleanup, with a warning message currently available only in Turkish. A dynamic cleaning interval and a command system are part of the current build.
Players who do not want to wait can run the lagclear command to trigger a cleanup at any time, and the command works even when cheats are disabled. The config file lets the player change the settings, and the mod was created to remove items that remain on the ground after trees are cut down or creatures die outside.
The mod is published for Fabric only, and only for 1.21.11. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The code is available as public source, but the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the mod is not open source. The current build is 1.0.1 and is in the beta channel, and it was first published on 2026-02-15 and last updated on 2026-02-17.
