Better Item Despawn Mod adds visual timers and color indicators to dropped items so players know when their loot will disappear. It connects with Jade to show a live countdown directly above items resting on the ground. Dropped gear also glows with changing colors that shift from green to red as time runs out. The mod lets you change the default despawn timers in the settings to fit your preferred playstyle.
