About this Mod

ItemClearLag (ICL)

ItemClearLag (ICL) is a Minecraft mod designed to improve server performance by periodically removing items from the ground. This mod is especially useful for servers with high player counts where dropped items can accumulate and cause lag.

Installation

  1. Ensure you have Fabric installed.
  2. Download the latest version of ICL.
  3. Place the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder.
  4. Start your server or game.

Commands

Write /icl in chat to see all available commands.

The main command provided by ICL is /icl, which has several subcommands:

  • /icl forceclean: Immediately clears all items on the ground.
  • /icl reload: Reloads the ICL.
  • /icl config set <key> [value]: Changes a configuration value. To see current configuration value, use /icl config set <key>.
  • /icl cancel [seconds]: Cancels the next clear. If a number of seconds is provided, the next clear will be scheduled after that many seconds.

Configuration

Configuration values can be changed using the /icl config set command. Here are some of the configurable values:

  • Delay: The delay (in seconds) between automatic item clears.
  • NotificationDelay: The delay (in seconds) before a clear when a notification will be sent.
  • NotificationStart: The time (in seconds) when notifications start being sent before a clear.

  • NotificationColor: The color for notifications.
  • RequireOp: Whether to require the player to be an operator to use the ICL commands.
    • Note: The configuration value is not used if the fabric-permissions mod is installed, use any permissions manager.
  • RequireOpCancel: Whether to require the player to be an operator to cancel clear.
    • Note: The configuration value is not used if the fabric-permissions mod is installed, use any permissions manager.
  • preserveNoDespawnItems: Whether to preserve items that are set to never despawn.

  • icl.reload: Allows the player to use the /icl reload command.
  • icl.config: Allows the player to use the /icl config command.

Frequently Asked Questions

ItemClearLag server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is ItemClearLag compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

ItemClearLag officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.8, 1.21.7. 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 ItemClearLag – how to optimize performance?

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