Drop Spread 2 Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I change how far items spread when I die?

Use the command `/gamerule dropSpread2 ` where the value is between 0.1 and 10. A lower number makes items drop closer together, while a higher number spreads them farther apart; 1.0 matches vanilla Minecraft behavior.

What's the default spread value?

The mod's default is 0.1, which makes items drop in a tight cluster near where you died. This is much tighter than vanilla Minecraft's default spread.

Can I make items drop exactly like vanilla Minecraft?

Yes, set the gamerule to 1 with `/gamerule dropSpread2 1` to restore vanilla item drop behavior exactly.

Is there a maximum or minimum spread value I can use?

The mod allows values between 0.1 and 10, so 0.1 is the tightest cluster possible and 10 is the widest spread available.

Do I need to restart my world after changing the dropSpread2 gamerule?

No, the gamerule takes effect immediately after you enter the command, so you can test different values without restarting.

Does this mod affect item drops from mobs or only player deaths?

Drop Spread 2 Mod specifically controls the spread of items dropped by players after death; it does not affect mob drops.

Can I set a different spread value for different players on my server?

The dropSpread2 gamerule is world-wide, so all players experience the same spread value; you cannot set it per-player.

Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?

Drop Spread 2 Mod is lightweight and only adjusts the velocity of dropped items, so it should not cause noticeable performance impact.

What happens if I set the value to 0 or a negative number?

The mod only accepts values between 0.1 and 10, so values outside this range will not work; the gamerule will reject them or use the nearest valid boundary.

Does this mod work in multiplayer or only single-player?

Drop Spread 2 Mod works in both single-player and multiplayer; on servers, the gamerule applies to all players' item drops.
