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.

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.

Abstract

This is an optimization mod. The sweeper cleans all dropped items at regular intervals and collects them in a "dustbin". No only dropped items but also other entities (default arrows and spectral arrows) can be swept to improve the performance of server.

Client side is not required. This mod can work at server side only like a plugin.

Dustbin

All collected dropped items will show up in the 54-slot dustbin temporarily. Use command /sweepermaid dustbin to open the dustbin. You can also set the permission level of it in configuration.

Configuration

The sweeper's cool down, other types of entities to be swept, and even messages that will be sent to client players can be configurated. The config file is located in config/sweeper_maid-common.toml.
