bItemDespawn

A high-performance, feature-rich item management plugin for modern Minecraft servers. Take full control over entity lag with deep customization and real-time tracking.

Features

Core Features

• Smart Despawn System: Advanced logic to handle item removal without affecting server TPS.
• 100% Custom Holograms: Display dynamic countdowns above dropped items. Full HEX color support.
• Item-Specific Cooldowns: Set different timers per item (e.g., Diamonds stay for 5m, Cobblestone for 30s).
• Live Statistics: Real-time tracking of current ground entities and total items cleared.
• World Management:
  • Per-World Timers: Unique cooldowns for Overworld, Nether, and End.
  • World Blacklist: Disable the plugin in specific worlds (Creative, Events, etc.).

Technical Advantages

• Async Processing: Holograms and timers run off the main thread to prevent lag spikes.
• Zero Dependencies: Works out of the box on Paper, Spigot, and Purpur.
• Ultra Lightweight: Optimized code designed for high-population servers.
