Prevent Server Lag from Dropped Items

Understand Smart Drop Merging

When items are dropped on the ground, the plugin automatically combines them into single piles if they're the same type. This prevents the server from tracking hundreds of individual item entities, which causes lag.

How It Works Automatically

You don't need to do anything—the plugin handles this in the background. When you drop stacks of items or they fall from broken blocks, they merge together on the ground instead of scattering as separate entities.

Benefits for Your Server

This feature is especially important during large mining operations or when multiple players are dropping items at once. Fewer entities on the ground means smoother performance for everyone.

What You'll Notice

Instead of seeing dozens of floating item icons when items drop, you'll see them consolidate into one or a few piles. When you pick them up, they'll stack according to your server's stack limits. This works seamlessly without any commands or configuration needed on your end.
