World Cleanup
by notverycomfy
World Cleanup manages dropped items on a server, removing them on timers that depend on item value and context instead of one universal limit.
What it does
Dropped items are cleaned up on configurable timers. Valuable items stay longer, while common blocks disappear sooner. Items thrown by players and drops from mobs each follow their own timer, so a player's discarded gear is treated differently from ordinary loot. Items near a recent player death get temporary protection, so a player can recover what they lost.
Dense farms clean eligible drops more aggressively, which keeps item entities from piling up where they cause lag. Detection settings, timers and item categories can all be changed in-game, and the configuration persists between launches. The in-game settings screen is easiest to reach through the Mod Menu mod.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge on 26.1.2 – 26.2, and the mod is licensed as All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Value-based timers
Each item's cleanup time depends on its value, so rare loot lasts while common blocks are removed sooner.
Separate timers for thrown items
Items a player throws away and drops from mobs follow their own timers rather than one shared limit.
Death protection
Items dropped close to a recent death are shielded for a short period, giving the player time to collect them.
Dense farm handling
Eligible drops in dense farms are cleaned more aggressively to keep item entities from accumulating.
In-game configuration
Timers, detection settings and item categories can be adjusted in-game, and the settings are kept between launches.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want item cleanup tuned by value and context rather than a single timer. Players need no installation, since the environment is server-side only.
