Sweeper Maid

by Viola-Siemens

Sweeper Maid is a server-side optimization mod that periodically collects dropped items and selected entities into a temporary dustbin.

What it does

At regular intervals the mod gathers all dropped items on the world and moves them into a 54-slot dustbin. Arrows, including spectral arrows, can be swept as well, which reduces the entity count a server has to process. Items stay in the dustbin only for a limited time, and the dustbin opens with the command /sweepermaid dustbin, whose permission level is set in the configuration.

The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20 – 1.20.6 across seven release versions, and is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Only the server needs it, and players can join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Scheduled item sweeping

    Dropped items across the world are collected at a set interval so they do not accumulate.

  2. Entity clean-up

    Projectiles of two kinds can be cleared from the world in addition to dropped items, lowering the load on the server.

  3. Temporary dustbin

    Collected items appear in a 54-slot dustbin for a limited time before they are removed.

What the author says

This is an optimization mod. The sweeper cleans all dropped items at regular intervals and collects them in a "dustbin". No only dropped items but also other entities (default arrows and spectral arrows) can be swept to improve the performance of server. Client side is not required. This mod can work at server side…
