DatapacksJava
No Despawning Death Loot
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Description
This pack will prevent your death loot from despawning. Note: If gamerule doImmediateRespawn is set to true, all items dropped exactly when the player died will also be set to not despawn in order to allow this datapack to still work.
Admin Controls
Lag from Death Loot would be very rare, but in case it does happen, here are some Admin commands:
function no_death_loot_despawn:admin_kill_death_loot {amount: #}: kills # nearest loot
A couple other commands for Admins:
function no_death_loot_despawn:admin_count_death_items: counts the amount of all rendered Death Item entitiesfunction no_death_loot_despawn:admin_find_rendered_death_loot: chats the location of all rendered Death Item entities.
