R.I.P. - Renamed Items Persist

by Unknowneth

R.I.P. - Renamed Items Persist keeps named items from despawning on the server by checking them with a datapack function.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.1

What it does

Items that carry a custom name in an anvil are normally removed after a set time on the ground. This mod stops that for renamed items: a datapack function runs every five minutes, checks each item that has a custom name, and resets its despawn timer. Renaming an item with an anvil is the only step a player takes.

Key features

  1. Renamed items stay

    Items given a custom name in an anvil are not removed when their despawn timer runs out.

  2. Periodic timer reset

    A datapack function checks named items every five minutes and resets their despawn timer.

  3. Datapack-based

    The mechanic is built from a datapack, so it can run on servers that load data packs.

What the author says

In older versions of Pocket Edition, renaming items prevented them from despawning. However, Mojang saw this as more of a bug than a feature and ended up patching it. This datapack makes it so items cannot despawn when renamed in an anvil. Long story short, now!
