Item Purge

by NightLa · on Modrinth

Item Purge automatically removes dropped items after a set time to keep your worlds and servers lag-free. It’s lightweight, configurable, and fully…

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.10 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.4 · Forge
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.

Features 🔄 Auto-Cleanup: Periodically deletes dropped items to prevent lag buildup.

⚙️ Configurable Interval: Choose how often purges occur (default: every 10 minutes).

✅ Whitelist System: Protect important items (like netherite, stars, or keys) from deletion.

💬 Smart Messaging: Only notifies players when items are actually removed (no chat spam).

🧭 In-Game Configuration: Works with the Configured mod — edit settings directly from the Mods menu.

📜 Admin Commands:

/itempurge now — manually purge items.

/itempurge set — change the cleanup interval.

/itempurge whitelist add/remove/list — manage protected items.

Perfect for servers or singleplayer worlds that lag from thousands of dropped items after farms, mob battles, or mining sessions. Runs quietly in the background, keeping performance high without touching entities or blocks.
