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.

Features

  • Automatically clears dropped ground items
  • Configurable clear interval
  • Configurable countdown warnings
  • Option to disable announcements
  • Manual clear command
  • Config reload command
  • Status command
  • Minimum item age protection
  • Ignored item and world lists
  • Named item protection
  • Simple JSON config

Default Behavior

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

Warnings are sent at:

  • 5 minutes
  • 2 minutes
  • 1 minute
  • 30 seconds

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

Commands

Commands require OP permission level 2 by default.

  • /groundclear status - Shows whether GroundClear is enabled and when the next clear will happen.
  • /groundclear now - Immediately clears dropped ground items.
  • /groundclear reload - Reloads the config without restarting the server.

Configuration

GroundClear creates a config file after the server starts:

config/groundclear.json

For setup instructions, command usage, config options, and examples, visit the GroundClear Documentation.
