oSzoukaua's: Items don't last

by oSzoukaua

oSzoukaua's: Items don't last stops dropped items from living forever, letting their despawn timer run even when their chunk is unloaded.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.01.20 – 26.1.2

What it does

Dropped items in the world tick down a despawn timer that keeps running while the chunk holding them is unloaded, so they can disappear sooner than they would in vanilla. The default duration matches Minecraft's standard five minutes, which is 300 seconds or 6000 ticks, and a server owner can change it with a command. Replace the placeholder with the desired duration in ticks, where 20 ticks equal one second.

The mod runs on the server, and players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20 – 26.1.2, and the latest file is 1.1 for 1.21.11. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Unloaded chunk timers

    Item despawn timers keep counting down even when the chunk holding the item is not loaded.

  2. Custom despawn duration

    A command sets the despawn timer to any length in ticks, changing how long dropped items stay.

  3. Vanilla default preserved

    Without a change, the timer uses Minecraft's default of 6000 ticks, or five minutes.
