Frequently asked questions

What does the Configurable Despawn Timer Mod let you change?
It lets you configure how long items and XP orbs stay in the world before despawning, from 0 to 72,000 ticks. The default is 12,000 ticks, compared to vanilla's 6,000 ticks.
How do I make a specific item never despawn?
In the generated config file, set that item's despawn time value to 0. A value of -1 makes it use the global setting instead.
Can I stop items dropped by players from despawning?
Yes, the mod includes a Player Item Protection option that prevents player-dropped items from despawning. This is useful for death recovery or manual drops.
What do the config values -1, 0, and a positive number mean?
-1 means use the global setting, 0 means the item never despawns, and any positive number is a custom despawn time in ticks.
