Changelog

Item Remover v4 – Changelog

1. New Presets

  • Added 3 presets: Light, Normal, and Aggressive.
  • Each preset changes how long items stay on the ground and how aggressively the plugin removes them.
  • Players can switch presets anytime via the in-game menu.

2. Countdown Display

  • Items now show a countdown timer above them before they disappear.
  • The countdown changes color to indicate urgency:
    • Green/Yellow: Safe phase
    • Orange: Warning phase
    • Red & Blinking: Final seconds
  • Players can choose to hide the countdown if they prefer.

3. Smarter Item Merging

  • Identical items on the ground now merge automatically to reduce clutter.
  • Merge only happens for items that are truly the same (same type, name, durability, enchantments).
  • Merging is optimized for performance and happens near players to avoid lag.

4. Whitelist

  • You can now protect certain items from being removed or merged.
  • Whitelisted items will also not show a countdown.
  • Includes an in-game menu to add, remove, or view whitelisted items.

5. Server Health Check

  • Shows the total number of items in each dimension (Overworld, Nether, End).
  • Provides a status report: Healthy, Moderate, High, Critical.
  • Includes options to quick clear items if the server gets too crowded.

6. Improved Performance

  • Optimized item scanning and merging to reduce lag.
  • Uses safer methods to handle item properties like names, lore, and enchantments.
  • Items are removed more efficiently without causing errors.

7. Admin Tools

  • Added a special wrench item for admins to open the plugin menu.
  • Menus now include:
    • Presets
    • Settings
    • Whitelist Manager
    • Server Health
    • Personal Preferences

Summary:
This version makes item management faster, smarter, and easier to understand, with visual countdowns, better merging, and server-friendly performance.

This add-on has been renamed to Smart Item Manager.

everytime i login on realms the settings for the addon resets to default

Hey! The addon is great. But can I request a longer duration of time, like 1 hour or 30 minutes

Hi! Thank you for the kind words 😊
Unfortunately, in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, it's not currently possible to extend the time before dropped items are removed beyond 5 minutes. This is a built-in mechanic of the game, and we can't change it directly using addons or behavior packs.

However, in the future, we might be able to create a workaround or find a new method — especially as Minecraft continues to update and expand its scripting capabilities. So stay tuned! 😊

Maybe you could save the dropped items in the loaded chunks as structures, and also save them with their location, and if they despawn you can load the structure there 🧐

Instead of a timer can you make it based on number of items in the ground? Like if there’s too many items in the ground like over 1000 then I guess will do the item clean up

Thanks for the feedback!

That's an interesting idea to clear items based on count (e.g., over 1000 items) instead of a timer.

Currently, the add-on uses a time-based system (30 seconds) for simplicity and optimal performance within Minecraft Bedrock's add-on limitations. Implementing a reliable, count-based system is challenging due to API restrictions and potential performance overhead from constantly checking item counts.

I'll keep your suggestion in mind for future updates if development tools allow for it more efficiently!

Thanks a lot for the fantastic feedback! I'm really glad to hear you find the add-on simple yet effective. That's exactly what I aimed for. It's great to know it's working well for you!

A GUI for time adjustment is coming in one of the next few updates.(Version 3)
Thanks for your feedback

cthis is so useful it stops me from making ghast farms without my PC crashing

can u make an Addon to remove mobs overtime?
1
How often should the mobs be removed?
Remove all mobs (hostile, passive, or both)?
Remove only specific types of mobs?
In Minecraft, there is a built-in despawn system that automatically removes mobs that are far away from players. This helps reduce the game’s resource usage and keep the world running smoothly.

I want to remove all mobs, except for named mobs if possible. Mobs, especially hostile ones, accumulate and cause lag. thanks for the reply

Não precisa de Addon pra isso, primeiro põe a tag em você, depois põe um comand block em repetição e você escolhe quanto tempo vai demorar.

/tag add player

/kill @e[tag=!player]

if you dont have keep inventory on, every death = losing every item with this
1
Just use gravestone
1
You're right. If Keep Inventory is off, our add-on will clear items dropped from death after 30 seconds. It doesn't differentiate. So, if you want to keep items on death, Keep Inventory must be on.

I'll keep this in mind for future improvements.

dang, ive been searching for this since ages ago. and then suddenly it pops up wew. thank you master for this. i hope u can make it toggled.

Wow, so glad you finally found it! Thanks for the kind words.

A toggle feature is a great idea for more control, and I'll definitely keep that in mind for future updates, though it has some technical challenges. Thanks again!
