EClean Modern
This plugin is EClean Modern, maintained by the CoffeePopStudio organization. It aims to enhance the original EClean plugin's functionality, resolve compatibility issues with newer Minecraft versions, and introduce additional features and configuration options.
Why
The original EClean plugin issue
explicitly states: "No time, no plans for Folia support at the moment." Additionally, the EPlugin framework is built on the legacy Bukkit API rather than the Paper API.
As a result, many APIs are marked as Deprecated or even Removed in Paper, which means the original plugin may become unusable in future versions.
This plugin was developed to bring EClean's functionality to the Folia environment while adding more features and configuration options on top of the original.
Features
Smart Entity Cleanup
Automatically cleans up dropped items, living entities, and dense entities on a configurable interval. Supports countdown announcement messages and displays cleanup statistics upon completion.Dense Entity Detection Menu
A visual GUI menu showing entity density per chunk, with one-click teleport and one-click cleanup — allowing admins to quickly locate and resolve dense entity issues.Shared Trash Can
Automatically collects matched items into a shared trash can during drop cleanup on a first-come, first-served basis. The trash can empties automatically on a timer to prevent important items from being lost.Per-World Configuration
Each world can independently override cleanup rules, disable cleanup, or customize cleanup intervals, providing flexibility for different gameplay scenarios.Blacklist / Whitelist System
Supports blacklist or whitelist modes by entity type or item type, giving precise control over which entities or items are cleaned up or protected.Item Protection Rules
Optionally protects enchanted items, items with lore, written books, and other special items from being accidentally removed during cleanup.On-Demand Cleanup Commands
Allows admins to trigger cleanup instantly by world or by type, without waiting for the scheduled timer.Entity Statistics Query
Query loaded chunk counts and entity distribution statistics by world or entity type, useful for server diagnostics and maintenance.PlaceholderAPI Support
Provides PAPI variable expansions for easy integration with other plugins to display cleanup-related information.Native Folia Compatibility
Supports both Paper and Folia servers out of the box, with automatic scheduler adaptation — no extra configuration needed.Temporary Teleport
The dense entity menu supports temporary teleport, automatically returning the admin to their original location after 30 seconds for safe inspection.Multilingual / Highly Customizable
All message text is configured vialang.ymlwith MiniMessage format support. Six independent configuration files, each serving its own purpose, can be hot-reloaded without a server restart.
