Eternal Items

Installation

For versions 1.11.x, 1.10.x, and 1.9.x: Simply add the mod to your mods folder - this is standard Forge installation. AlexIILLib is not required.

For version 1.8: Place the mod in the mods directory, but AlexIILLib is required for it to work.

How the Modification Works

This mod disables the automatic disappearance of items after 5 minutes. No more worrying about losing your belongings after death or when monsters steal your valuable items. However, to avoid lags from too many objects, the mod includes a limiter on the number of simultaneously active items.

After the usual lifespan (5 minutes) expires, items don't disappear permanently but are moved to a queue. When space becomes available in the world (you pick up other items or they disappear), objects from the queue reappear. If you don't find all your items in place, just wait a minute - they will return.

Every 50 seconds, the mod checks which items can be returned from the queue to the main world. This approach maintains high server performance.

Settings

The maximum number of simultaneously active items can be changed in the settings file (eternalitems.cfg). The available range is from 20 to 600 units. Interestingly, a stack of 64 stone blocks counts as one item.

Administration Commands

The mod offers four useful commands:

• /eternalitems debug - shows current system metrics
• /eternalitems position - displays the location of all active items
• /eternalitems stats - shows the 5 chunks with the highest item activity (helps identify problematic automated systems)
• /eternalitems reset - resets statistics for a new counting session

Compatibility

The mod works with all Forge modifications without conflicts.

In case of errors or crashes, it's recommended to use services like Pastebin for uploading logs - this is more convenient for analysis and doesn't clutter comments.
