it would be nice if yoru mod just took the items with it tho. Why wait on the mc to kill the items in 5 minutes. If there are enough corpses on the filed, when this happens it will be the same as mob/item/xp farm exploding junke everywhere causing massive server lag. If I only cared about single player I would never ask for this feature. That said I found a mod that works nicely with this. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/configurable-despawn-timer I set mine to 45 seconds. So they have enough time to pick up stuff during normal mining, and if they're in the area of a corpse when it despawns, those items won't be lagging the system for too much longer. The way I see it the player hass already looted the corpse of what they want and left behind w/e they didn't want. Why make it pop out.

But you have a config that allows them to despawn, they deteriorate over time. That why I thought it might be good to suggest not allowing the items to spew everywhere. I'll stop bothering you. This was supposed to be a feature request not a bug report, and it was never an attack on your code.
