ItemDropV2

ItemDropV2

Clear and configurable information for dropped items.

ItemDropV2 improves dropped-item visibility and management on Paper servers without requiring NMS or a resource pack.

Features

• Dropped-item names and stack amounts
• Minecraft rarity colours
• Preserves and prioritises ItemStack custom names
• Owner attribution and shared eligible-owner display
• Configurable pickup protection and item lifetime
• Safe native item merging
• Source detection for supported blocks, entities, containers and player actions
• World exclusion list
• English and Traditional Chinese plugin messages
• Configurable server-side Minecraft item-name language
• Optional PlaceholderAPI placeholders
• Safe configuration validation, repair and reload
• Legacy configuration migration
• PDC-backed state and restart recovery
• Runtime display toggle

ItemDropV2 Community does not create virtual stacks.

Compatibility

• Platform: Paper
• Minecraft: 1.14–26.2

Known limitation in 1.0.0

When another plugin directly replaces the floating CustomName of an ItemDropV2-managed Item Entity, a later refresh may restore the ItemDropV2-generated name.

ItemStack custom names are unaffected. A compatibility fix is planned for version 1.0.1.

Metrics and privacy

ItemDropV2 uses bStats for standard anonymous server and plugin statistics. No custom chart contains player names, UUIDs, worlds, items or configuration values.

Server owners can disable bStats globally in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
