[NMID] No More Item Despawn

by Zickit

No More Item Despawn stops dropped items from vanishing on the server, so loot left far from the player stays in the world.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Normally, dropped items are removed after a set time. This mod turns that automatic removal off, so items stay where they fall until a player or server owner picks them up or removes them. It runs on the server, and players can join without installing it, though they may add it to their own client. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.21 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Despawn disabled

    Dropped items no longer disappear on their own timer, so nothing is lost while the player is away.

  2. Remote loot kept

    Items dropped in places the player cannot reach stay available instead of being removed after several minutes.

  3. Datapack alternative

    The mod is also offered as a data pack for servers that prefer not to load a loader mod.

How it compares

Full comparison

Configurable Despawn Timer is server-side only, covers 1.16.5 – 26.3 and is released under All rights reserved, so it lets the timer be adjusted rather than removed. Item Despawn To What is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 only; the server needs it, while players may add it, so is needed on the server, with the client optional.

Questions

Does No More Item Despawn need to be installed on clients?

No. Only the server needs it, and players may add it too, so a client can join without it.

What the author says

If you died somewhere, where you coudn't reach in time and your items despawned, then this datapack is for you! This datapack can cause some performence issues due to its expected behaviour: disable item despawn. I tried optimizing it by making it run once every 3 minutes and resetting the item despawn nbt value to…
