⬇ Download on ModrinthThis is an unofficial Fabric port of Sweeper Maid by Hexagram (Viola-Siemens), originally a Forge mod. This port is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original author.
An optimization mod. The sweeper cleans all dropped items at regular intervals and collects them in a "dustbin". Not only dropped items but also other entities (default: arrows and spectral arrows) can be swept to improve server performance.
Client side is not required. This mod can work server-side only, like a plugin.
Dustbin
All collected dropped items will show up in the 54-slot dustbin temporarily. Use the command /sweepermaid dustbin to open the dustbin. You can also set the permission level of it in the configuration.
Configuration
The sweeper's cooldown, other types of entities to be swept, and even messages sent to players can all be configured. The config file is located at config/sweepermaid.json.
Commands
/sweepermaid dustbin [index]- Open a dustbin (default: any player)/sweepermaid clean- Trigger an immediate sweep (default: op only)
