# GroundClear
GroundClear is a lightweight server utility mod that automatically clears dropped ground items on a configurable timer.
It is made for server owners who want a simple way to reduce item buildup without installing a large performance or administration mod.
## Features
- Automatically clears dropped ground items
- Configurable clear interval
- Configurable countdown warnings
- Option to disable announcements
- Manual clear command
- Config reload command
- Status command
- Minimum item age protection

- Simple JSON config
## Default Behavior
By default, GroundClear clears dropped ground items every 10 minutes.
Warnings are sent at:
- 5 minutes
- 2 minutes
- 1 minute
- 30 seconds
Items must be at least 60 seconds old before automatic cleanup removes them.
## Commands
Commands require OP permission level 2 by default.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `/groundclear status` | Shows whether GroundClear is enabled and when the next clear will happen. |
| `/groundclear now` | Immediately clears dropped ground items. |
| `/groundclear reload` | Reloads the config without restarting the server. |
## Configuration
GroundClear creates a config file after the server starts at `config/groundclear.json`.

Additional Minecraft versions and mod loaders may be added in future releases.
Always download the file that matches your Minecraft version and mod loader.
