Lag Zapper

Last updated March 13, 2026 at 6:58 PM

Lag Zapper

The Lag Zapper automatically removes all dropped items across all dimensions on a configurable interval to reduce entity lag. It can be enabled for continuous automatic cleanup or left disabled for manual use only.


Configuring the Lag Zapper

  1. Open the Admin Panel (!adminpanel).
  2. Go to Lag Zapper.
  3. Set the Ground Item Clear Interval (e.g., 1m, 30s, 5m 20s).
  4. Toggle Enabled on or off.
  5. Save.

Automatic Mode

When enabled, the Lag Zapper runs on the interval you configured. Before each cleanup:

  • A warning message is broadcast to all players: "Clearing ground items in 10 seconds..."
  • A 3-2-1 countdown is shown in the final seconds.
  • All dropped items across all dimensions are removed.

The 10-second warning gives players time to pick up any items they care about.


What Gets Removed

Only dropped item entities are removed. Mobs and armor stands are not affected.


When to Use It

  • Set a regular interval (e.g., every 5 minutes) to keep the server clean during active play.
  • Disable auto-cleanup and configure it manually if your server has sensitive item drops (e.g., events or giveaways).

Notes

  • Removed dropped items cannot be recovered.
  • The Lag Zapper affects all dimensions.
  • Default interval: 60 seconds (disabled by default).
