Entity Cleaner

This standalone datapack/mod is a powerful upgrade verison to the original Lag Sweeper, designed to work seamlessly across multiple Minecraft versions. It efficiently clears a wide range of entities, including dropped items, eggs, snow, arrows, shulker bullets, wither skulls, and more, reducing lag and keeping your world running smoothly.

• Singleplayer: If you're using the datapack or mod in a singleplayer world, install the Singleplayer Library. It automatically grants you the ec_operator tag, so you don't need to enable cheats. Alternatively, if you have access to commands, you can manually grant yourself operator access with: ``/tag @s add ec_operator``

• Multiplayer: "Do not install the Singleplayer Library". On multiplayer servers, core Entity Cleaner settings should remain restricted to server administrators. To grant a player permission to modify Entity Cleaner settings, use: ``/tag <player_name> add ec_operator``

• Multi-version compatibility – Works reliably on different Minecraft versions without errors.
• Comprehensive entity cleanup – Removes common lag-causing entities automatically (Every 5min).
• Lightweight and easy to use – Install and run without affecting gameplay performance.
• Optimized for servers and singleplayer – Keeps both worlds and servers smooth, even with high entity counts.
• Easy-to-customize item cleaner config: choose which items to delete, set the cleanup time, and more.

• /trigger ec_menu: Opens the Entity Cleaner configuration menu.
• /tag player_name add ec_operator: Gives permission to modify the Entity Cleaner configuration.

Can I change the cleanup time?

Yes. You can configure the cleanup interval and choose how often Entity Cleaner checks and removes unwanted entities (/trigger ec_menu).

Will it remove important entities?

No. Entity Cleaner allows you to control exactly what gets removed. By default, only selected entities are cleaned, and you can disable any category you want from the config.

Can I use this on a multiplayer server?

Yes. Entity Cleaner is designed for servers and can help reduce unnecessary entity buildup, improving performance for players.

Can I see when cleanup happens?

Yes. Notification settings can be configured to show cleanup messages when entities are removed.

Does Entity Cleaner affect mob farms?

No. Entity Cleaner only removes selected item-related entities and does not remove mobs, so your mob farms will work normally. It is safe to use on servers without affecting mob spawning or farms.
