OptiWorld
by Vo1odyamorT
With OptiWorld on a server, dropped items and experience orbs are cleared or gathered on a fixed timer, so older drops do not pile up on the ground.
What it does
OptiWorld runs a cleanup cycle every 60 minutes. It removes dropped items that have aged past 6000 ticks and have lain for at least 5 minutes, while items within 6 blocks of a player are kept. Items renamed on an anvil are preserved indefinitely, and spectators are ignored so they do not protect items by accident. Cleanup work is processed asynchronously, in batches of 50 items per tick, so the main server thread stays responsive. Each run reports how many items were removed through the action bar when it finishes.
Experience orbs are drawn toward the nearest survival or adventure player within 100 blocks, starting from a minimum distance of 8 blocks, so the orbs keep following vanilla physics. The cleanup timer runs on a 72000-tick schedule through the schedule command, and scoreboard tracking records statistics for live feedback. The server must run the mod, while players may add it or leave it out, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, as well as a data pack.
Key features
Timed item cleanup
Aged dropped items are removed every 60 minutes, and only items older than the set age threshold are affected.
Player item protection
Items placed by players and items near a player within 6 blocks are left in place during a cleanup run.
Named item preservation
Items renamed with an anvil are kept indefinitely, so renamed gear is not lost to the timer.
Batched processing
Cleanup handles 50 items per tick, which keeps the work spread out and avoids frame drops.
Experience orb collection
Experience orbs are attracted to the nearest survival or adventure player within a 100-block range.
Scoreboard statistics
Cleanup counts are tracked on a scoreboard, giving server owners a record of how much was removed.
