Description

Simple Hostile Despawn

Minecraft Fabric Side Java

In vanilla Minecraft, hostile mobs that pick up items or enter boats/minecarts become persistent, accumulating over time and causing server lag.

Simple Hostile Despawn restores natural despawning for these mobs. When a mob with picked-up loot despawns, its collected items are safely dropped onto the ground.

Game Rules

Manage all behavior on the fly via native /gamerule commands:

Rule Default Description
despawn_with_item true Allows mobs that picked up items to despawn normally.
despawn_when_passenger true Allows mobs riding boats or minecarts to despawn normally.
despawn_when_named false When true, custom-named mobs will despawn.
despawn_named_in_peaceful false When true, custom-named mobs will despawn in Peaceful mode (Vanilla behaviour).

Requirements

  • Fabric Loader (0.20.0+) for Minecraft 26.3
  • Fabric API
  • Java 25+

100% server-side. Vanilla clients can join without installing the mod. Works in singleplayer and multiplayer.
