Whether from mob farms, player deaths, or accidental drops, these entities accumulate quickly and can severely impact performance.<\/p>\n<p>ClearLag solves this by running a configurable timer that automatically removes ground items at set intervals. The plugin tracks both the number of item entities (piles) and the total items including stack sizes, giving you accurate feedback. For example, clearing 5 stacks of 64 cobblestone will report &#8220;320 items (5 piles) cleared&#8221; rather than just &#8220;5 items.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before each clear, players receive customizable warnings at intervals you define (default: 60s, 30s, 10s), giving them time to pick up important items. The whitelist system ensures valuable items are never accidentally removed.<\/p>\n<p>## Safety &#038; Performance<\/p>\n<p>The plugin is designed with zero server impact in mind. Item clearing happens instantly with no lag spikes, and the timer runs asynchronously without blocking the main thread. Memory tracking uses Java&#8217;s native runtime monitoring to show exactly how much memory is freed, helping you optimize clearing intervals for your server&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>The warning system prevents spam by tracking which warnings have been sent, ensuring each warning time broadcasts only once per cycle.<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration<\/p>\n<p>The plugin works out of the box, but is fully customizable via `plugins\/ClearLag\/config.yml` or directly in-game.<\/p>\n<p>* **Interval**: Set clearing interval in seconds (1\u201386400, Default: 300)<br \/>\n* **Warnings**: Define when to warn players before clearing (Default: 60, 30, 10 seconds)<br \/>\n* **Whitelist**: Specify items that should never be cleared (Default: netherite, elytra, totems)<br \/>\n* **Worlds**: Choose specific worlds to clear, or leave empty for all worlds<br \/>\n* **XP Orbs**: Toggle whether to clear experience orbs (Default: false)<br \/>\n* **Messages**: Customize warning and clear messages with placeholders ({time}, {count}, {entities}, {memory})<br \/>\n* **Color**: Set message color (Default: GREEN)<\/p>\n<p>## Commands &#038; Permissions<\/p>\n<p>* `\/clearlag` \u2014 Manually clear items immediately (`clearlag.clear`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag now` \u2014 Force immediate clear without warnings (`clearlag.clear`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag toggle` \u2014 Enable\/disable auto-clearing (`clearlag.toggle`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag reload` \u2014 Reload configuration from file (`clearlag.reload`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag info` \u2014 Display current configuration and status (`clearlag.clear`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag set <setting> <value>` \u2014 Change a setting in-game (`clearlag.config`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag add <list> <value>` \u2014 Add to whitelist, world list, or warning times (`clearlag.config`)<br \/>\n* `\/clearlag remove <list> <value>` \u2014 Remove from whitelist, world list, or warning times (`clearlag.config`)<\/p>\n<p>**Aliases**: `\/cl`, `\/itemclear`<\/p>\n<p>## Installation<\/p>\n<p>ClearLag is a server-side plugin designed for Paper\/Spigot 1.21+ (compatible with all modern versions). Simply drop the JAR into your `plugins` folder and restart your server. A `plugins\/ClearLag\/config.yml` file will be created automatically with sensible defaults.<\/p>\n<p>## In-Game Management<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most plugins, ClearLag lets you change every setting without editing files:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n\/clearlag set interval 120          # Change to 2 minutes<br \/>\n\/clearlag set color AQUA            # Change message color<br \/>\n\/clearlag add whitelist DIAMOND     # Protect diamonds<br \/>\n\/clearlag add warning 5             # Add 5-second warning<br \/>\n\/clearlag remove warning 30         # Remove 30-second warning<br \/>\n\/clearlag set clear-xp-orbs true    # Start clearing XP orbs<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>All changes take effect immediately and are saved to the config file automatically.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"\nmax-width: 420px;\npadding: 20px;\nborder-radius: 16px;\nbackground: rgba(88,101,242,0.08);\nborder: 1px solid rgba(88,101,242,0.3);\n\"><\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\udee0 Support &#038; Bug Reports<\/h2>\n<p style=\"opacity:0.85;\">\nFound a bug or need help setting up the plugin?<br \/>\nReport issues directly on Discord.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/Report%20Bugs%20on%20Discord-5865F2?style=for-the-badge&#038;logo=discord&#038;logoColor=white\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ClearLag automatically removes dropped items at configurable intervals to prevent server lag, with customizable warnings, item whitelisting, and real-time memory tracking\u2014all manageable in-game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41220,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"clearlagv2","_minecraft_project_id":"q8D1H8aj","_minecraft_author":"StiviKM","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":491,"_minecraft_follows":1,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"clearlagv2.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":14611,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T10:34:50.025332Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-02-12T01:18:18.124840Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-02-09T14:48:18.730972Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/clearlagv2","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":41220,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T22:37:32+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"a09520e6b230eabd3af4d2a2ec9aca54","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[89,90,127],"mod_loader":[132],"minecraft_version":[845,846,847,848,849,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-41219","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-optimization","mod_category-paper","mod_loader-paper","minecraft_version-1-2-1","minecraft_version-1-2-2","minecraft_version-1-2-3","minecraft_version-1-2-4","minecraft_version-1-2-5","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
