What it does

A sweeper runs on a set interval and collects dropped items into a dustbin, removing them from the world. By default only dropped items are targeted, while other entities are left alone unless configured otherwise. Arrows and spectral arrows can also be swept, which the author cites as a way to improve server performance. The mod works on the server alone, similar to a plugin, and it is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. Its only listed version is 1.21.1, with a single Fabric file, 1.0.0, dated 2026-04-05.

Key features

  1. Scheduled item sweeping

    Dropped items are collected at regular intervals, so the ground does not fill up with stacks left behind.

  2. Dustbin collection

    Swept items are gathered into a dustbin rather than being deleted outright, which keeps them available.

  3. Arrow cleanup

    Arrows and spectral arrows can be swept along with items, reducing the entity count on busy servers.
