Find the Right Drop Spread for Your Playstyle
Tuning Drop Spread to Your Preference
Drop Spread 2 Mod lets you customize item scatter to match your playstyle. Whether you want items easy to grab or scattered for challenge, you can find the perfect balance.
Understanding the Scale
The gamerule dropSpread2 accepts values from 0.1 to 10:
- 0.1–0.5: Items land very close together; easy recovery
- 1: Vanilla Minecraft behavior; moderate spread
- 2–5: Wider scatter; more challenging to collect all items
- 6–10: Extreme spread; items launch far; high difficulty
Testing Process
1. Set a value: /gamerule dropSpread2 <number>
2. Have a player die in an open area
3. Observe where items land and how far they travel
4. Adjust the number up or down based on your preference
5. Repeat until satisfied
Tips
Test in a flat, open area first so terrain doesn't interfere with your observations. Once you find a value you like, it stays active until you change it again. Consider your server's difficulty setting and player skill level when choosing a spread value.
