Default Behavior

By default, GroundClear clears dropped ground items every 10 minutes.

  • 5 minutes
  • 2 minutes
  • 1 minute
  • 30 seconds

Items must be at least 60 seconds old before automatic cleanup removes them.

Commands require OP permission level 2 by default.

Command Description
/groundclear status Shows whether GroundClear is enabled and when the next clear will happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ground Clear server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong bukkit version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Ground Clear compatible with bukkit and fabric and forge and neoforge and paper and purpur and spigot?

Ground Clear officially supports bukkit, fabric, forge, neoforge, paper, purpur, spigot for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Ground Clear – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ground Clear 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.
