Frequently asked questions

Do I need Jade installed for this mod to work?
Yes, Better Item Despawn Mod requires Jade to display the live countdown timer above dropped items. Without Jade, you'll still see the color-coded glow around items, but not the exact despawn time.
How do I change how long items stay on the ground before despawning?
Open the mod's configuration file and adjust the despawn duration setting to your preferred value. Changes take effect on newly dropped items or after reloading your world.
What do the different colors mean?
Items start glowing green when freshly dropped, then shift through yellow and orange as time passes, and finally turn red when despawn is imminent. This gives you a quick visual warning without needing to read the exact timer.
Can I see the despawn timer from far away?
The Jade tooltip only appears when you're close enough to see the item clearly, but the color-coded glow is visible from a greater distance, letting you spot items that need urgent recovery while exploring.
