Configuring Death Drop Spread to Custom Values

Drop Spread 2 provides complete numerical control over the velocity applied to your dropped items upon dying. You can fine-tune this setting to find a balance between easy retrieval and standard gameplay.

Using the dropSpread2 Gamerule

The mod manages its functionality through a single gamerule. You can adjust it at any time while playing:

1. Open your world with cheats enabled, or log in with operator status on a server.

2. Open the chat console.

3. Run the command: /gamerule dropSpread2 <value>

The mod only permits values within the range of 0.1 to 10.

Selecting the Best Value for Your Playstyle

Choose your value depending on how you want deaths to play out:

• 0.1 (Mod Default): The minimum allowed spread. Keeps your items tightly packed at the exact point of death.
• 1.0 (Vanilla Equivalent): Matches standard Minecraft item scatter behavior.
• 1.1 to 10.0: Progressively launches items farther away. Intermediate values (such as 2 or 3) provide noticeable extra scatter without being as extreme as the maximum limit of 10.

You can change this value as often as needed to test different launch distances.
