    I've looked around for several days, and I can not find a simple plugin that changes the despawn time of dropped items.

    Plugin Category: Mechanics
    Suggested Name: DespawnTimer
    Description: I want to be able to change how long a dropped item will stay on the ground for, in seconds or ticks. In a PVP case, I want a despawn time of about 30 seconds, so that the killer has ample time to take the dropped items, but the person who died has very little chance of getting them back themselves.
    Commands: No commands needed. Though I would like to be able to change the time in a configuration file.
    Permissions: No permissions needed, server-wide change.

    The only solutions I've found to this is editing the "age" of items in the Item.class in Bukkit, but that is cumbersome, and constantly working against CraftBukkit. If someone could throw together a very simple plugin, I would be forever thankful.

    Thanks!

    I may be able to work on this as my first plugin.

    I hope it all goes well for you then! Thanks for your interest, and no worries if you can't get to it.

    Sorry :( I don't think I will be able to make it as fast. I have to take care of my mom. I am really sorry. Someone else may take over, but I will try my best to AT LEAST finish this for you, sorry if it takes a while :(

    This idea is actually very good
    This + pressure plate + dispenser = precise timers!

    I will do this tomorrow.

    would you like all the 'dropped item' entites in the world gone or just the dead entity/players items gone in 30 seconds

    Sorry for the really late response. I was gone.

    Anyway, I was thinking that just the items that dead players had dropped, but if it makes it easier to make all items dissapear, I'm OK with that as well.

    Again, Thank you.

    I'd try to do that, hopefully will finish it in some hours, I'll update the progress here.
    I'm still kinda new to developing those kind of plugins, but I'll try.

    Well I guess you can get ClearLag and set the timer, but that's probably not exactly what you want

    I started doing this one because it seemed simple enough, could be done quickly, etc. While it didn't end up taking that long after all, it turned out to be just a little more than I expected it would be, so thanks for the plugin request.

    You can find the finished product here.

    Please remove the [REQ] in your title; it is unneccesary, and, quite frankly, annoying. :p

    Really? It's not against any rule, and it's been fulfilled.

    If anything I'd like to encourage people to put "[FULFILLED]" tags on requests that get fulfilled, but just pedantry about thread titles being redundant?


    (Sorry if this sounds angry, just a bit fed up considering we've had a slew of reports about this that aren't valid because as stated, it isn't a rule)

    And sorry for the double post, but I went ahead and made just such a thread prefix. Hope you don't mind I filled it in for this thread UberMudkipz, I want to get the ball rolling on people seeing / using it.
