Control the spread of items dropped on death with a gamerule

Usage

However, if you wish to modify this value, the syntax is as follows;

/gamerule dropSpread 1

1 = vanilla
0.1 = mod default, 10% distance of vanilla
10 = maximum. why

Drop Spread of 0.1

Drop Spread server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Drop Spread – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Drop Spread consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
