    So obviously ClearLag was either just updated or the config was drastically changed.
    Til like yesterday ClearLag did not remove any items on the ground.
    From today on ClearLag removes items on the ground (and even fish being catched while still flying towards the player).

    I dont know why the change was made but it should be reverted.
    The way ClearLag removes items now reduces the efficiency of auto farms, risks player items on the ground when they died, deletes blocks on the ground while building (sometimes blocks are misplaced or broken because one doesnt like what he/she did and ppl dont feel like flying or otherwise moving around just to pick up those drops right away) and is overall uneccesary since the game auto removes items on the ground in loaded chunks after 5 minutes anyways (so with ClearLag and bad timing items on the ground will be removed every 2.5mins in the worst case assuming CL interval of 5minutes which is default as far as i know).

    ClearLag config should be reverted to what it was before whatever happened since yesterday.

    Best regards

    I don't like the clearlag because its waaay to aggressive and it renders auto farms pretty much useless &it comes up too often
    whenever I see a clearlag warning I feel like encasing myself in obsidian to make sure I don't lose anything :S

    I have lost multiple god bows, pickaxes, as well as $3k worth of metals and diamond on skyblock. I personally feel that it should be removed from AEM in general. Like Flames said, now my auto farms don't work as efficiently as they used to.

    efficency of your cactus farm shouldn't change that much.. Clear lag only happens maybe every 5-10 minutes..

    I think it is used for multiple good reasons. I have lost items from it as-well in survival. So now I just try not to die, However if I do I normally use /back. If clear lag clears my items, then Oh well. I'll get them back through work. I know it helps the server by getting rid of some of the lag so it's fine by me. I can understand yall's frustrations though. Just doesn't bother me much.

    I died while getting a drink (took 30 seconds) I returned to my deathpoint and my god picks/bows were gone. Except one godbow, which was taken by a skeleton xD

    it was setup differently before (didnt remove items on the ground). i noticed not much of a difference from before the change to after.
    also the game has a built in "clearlag" which removes items on the ground in loaded chunks after 5minutes so why have the same mechanism twice ( and appearing twice as often) ?

    on another note: the default configuration is used for clearlag which means that paintings and minecarts are removed as well. i wonder why decoration has to be removed !? on the minecart issue: theres a lot of uses for minecarts (like auto loading and unloading stations) which are rendered useless.

    in a different thread i read that "we can be happy since squids are back now" and "squids are seen as hostile mobs so clear lag removed them" i have never seen clearlag empty my mob trap so that argument is invalid... if this still has something to do with clearlag someone should look at the config and not just blindly install some plugin with default config or with a config poorly done
