About this Mod
Gather Despawned Items
Ever thrown away flint, seeds, or other "common" items only to need them later? This mod saves despawning items to a virtual inventory so nothing goes to waste. Perfect for players who hate losing non-renewable resources.
How it works
Gathers items that despawn into a globally available inventory that can be opened with the /despawneditems command. Items can't be placed in this inventory, only taken out.
