Keep Your Minecraft Server Smooth! 🚀

This mod automatically cleans up entities on your Minecraft server to prevent lag. It does this at regular intervals that you can configure. You can also enable/disable and reset the timer with a command.

⚙️ How does it work?

The "Custom Clear Lag" mod works in the background on your server. Here are the key steps:

📝 Configuration: When the server starts for the first time with the mod installed, a configuration file named clear_lag.json is created in the config/oas_work/ folder.
📖 Reading the configuration file: The mod reads this clear_lag.json file to find out:
- ⏱️ time: After how many minutes the cleanup should be performed (default is 5 minutes).
- 💥 command: Which command should be executed for the cleanup (default is kill @e which kills all entities, be careful!).
⏳ Countdown: The mod counts the time elapsed in the game.
🧹 Automatic Cleanup: Once the configured time has elapsed, the mod executes the command defined in the configuration file. After the cleanup, the time counter is reset and starts again.

🎮 How to use it?

**🛠️ Configuration (optional but **recommended):
- 📂 Locate the configuration file: Go to the config/oas_work/ folder of your server and open the clear_lag.json file with a text editor.
- ✏️ Modify the settings:
  - "time": 5, Change 5 to the desired number of minutes between each cleanup (e.g., 10 for 10 minutes).
  - "command": "kill @e" ⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT: The default command kill @e kills ALL entities (items on the ground, animals, players…). You MUST change it to a more targeted cleanup command. For example:
    - "/kill @e[type=!minecraft:player,distance=500]" (Kills all entities except players, more than 500 blocks away - adapt to your server).
    - /minecraft:kill @e[type=!player,tag=!keep] (Requires tags to protect certain entities, more advanced).
- 💾 Save the clear_lag.json file. 🔄 Changes are applied immediately, no server restart needed!
🕹️ In-game commands (for server operators):

Open the server console or the in-game chat (if you are an operator) and use the command: /cclearlag
- /cclearlag stop <true/false> :
  - /cclearlag stop true 🛑 Stops automatic cleanup.
  - /cclearlag stop false ✅ Reactivates automatic cleanup.
- /cclearlag reset <true/false> or /cclearlag reset :
  - 🔄 Resets the timer. The countdown to the next cleanup will restart from zero. The true/false argument has no effect here, only reset matters.

📌 Important Points:

🌐 Hosting Compatibility: This mod works on all types of Minecraft Forge/NeoForge servers.
🔑 Permissions: Only server operators (level 4) can use the /cclearlag command.
⚠️ Essential Configuration: Absolutely change the default kill @e command in clear_lag.json! Use a more suitable command for your server to avoid deleting important entities (players, tamed animals, etc.).
🔄 Instant Changes: Modifications to the clear_lag.json file are applied immediately, without restarting the server.
