Description

Don’t Despawn My Precious

A lightweight, tag-based QoL mod that prevents truly precious items from despawning.

This mod protects only a small, carefully chosen set of high-value vanilla items by default.
Everything else is fully opt-in via datapacks.

Default Protected Items

By default, the tag includes a small set of genuinely painful-to-lose vanilla items, such as:

  • Elytra
  • Nether Star
  • Dragon Egg
  • Totem of Undying
  • Trident
  • Enchanted Golden Apple
  • Beacon
  • Heart of the Sea
  • Wither Skeleton Skull
  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

The list is intentionally conservative.

Modpack authors can easily extend protection via datapacks:
