As the Beyond server has quite a bit of TPS issues i feel like it would be useful to have a plugin to clean up dropped items. as i can still find items i dropped multiple days ago.
Hi there, items only despawn after 10 minutes of the area being loaded. Hence you can find month old items at a place that rarely gets visited. The amount of dropped items in the world and also other entities like monsters and animals is already limited by us. Therefor adding a system which removes them on a regular basis does nothing noticeable performance wise.
while having people help me clear out a massive area with the draconic pickaxe. dropped items like cobble etc stayed there for way over 10 minutes and lasted at least a few hours and the chunkes were loaded because we were there or right next to it
The duration is tick related, meaning if the server is on 10/20 TPS it will take 20 minutes. Further, entities outside of the chunk you are standing in are ticking at a very very low rate. Meaning you need to be in that claim for 20x60x10 ticks.
