ClearDrops+ 1.3 - Smart Entity Cleanup Update

ClearDrops+ 1.3 is a major cleanup update focused on smarter entity handling, safer custom item protection and better control for server admins.

Added

• Added Smart Entity Cleanup for animals and mobs
• Added separate global timed entity cleanup
• Added optional chunk-load entity cleanup
• Added per-group entity limits for farms and mob-heavy chunks
• Added separate animal limits for cows, pigs, chickens and sheep
• Added entity protection for named, tamed, leashed and saddled entities
• Added protection for villagers with professions
• Added protection for named villagers and named iron golems
• Added /cd entityscan to inspect entity groups in the current chunk
• Added /cd entityclear to clean entity overflow in the current chunk
• Added custom item protection for names, lore, CustomModelData and PersistentDataContainer items

Changed

• Entity cleanup is now separated from item cleanup
• Item cleanup and entity cleanup can now use different timers
• Chunk-load entity cleanup and global timed entity cleanup can be enabled separately
• Entity cleanup only scans already loaded chunks and never force-loads chunks
• Entity cleanup messages now use aqua colors to make them visually different from item cleanup messages
• Entity cleanup messages now show nearby block coordinates and chunk coordinates

Improved

• Improved protection for custom items
• Improved admin tools for checking farms and crowded chunks
• Improved config structure for entity cleanup
• Improved low-end server control with configurable chunk scanning per tick
• Improved safety for SMP servers by protecting player-owned entities

Notes

• The material blacklist still only applies to dropped items by material type
• Custom item protection is configured in config.yml under item-protection
• Entity cleanup does not delete all mobs or animals
• Entity cleanup only removes extra, unprotected entities above the configured group limit
• It is recommended to back up your old config before updating and compare it with the new default config
