Ground Clear

GroundClear

GroundClear is a lightweight server utility mod that automatically clears dropped ground items on a configurable timer.

It is made for server owners who want a simple way to reduce item buildup without installing a large performance or administration mod.

• Option to disable announcements

Default Behavior

By default, GroundClear clears dropped ground items every 10 minutes.

• 1 minute
• 30 seconds

Items must be at least 60 seconds old before automatic cleanup removes them.
