Lingering Loot
Note: Requires forgelin to function.
Lingering Loot is a powerful tool for fine-tuning the behavior of dropped items in Minecraft. Originally created to extend the standard 5-minute despawn timer, the mod has evolved into a versatile solution for customizing gameplay in modpacks.

Lingering Loot Hardcore Mode
Despawning items perform various actions: blocks place themselves, throwables launch themselves, and more! Disabled by default as impractical. Death by infinite chickens is optional. Works best with reduced item despawn timers.
