    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server​
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Trident entity clear​
    What are you suggesting:
    With the entity clear thrown tridents are removed whilst away from the player. Even with loyalty they can despawn mid-flight and be lost to the server. I'm suggesting that maybe there is is a way to prevent even only thrown tridents from being cleared by this, considering their rarity and worth, and the new star trident especially.​
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It will prevent loss of players tridents, making it less risky to throw them, and making it so this experience is not a common one.​
    Other information:
    This had actually happened to me on a Loyalty 3 trident, it was thrown, then instantly cleared away.​
    Plugin or custom addition:

    ​
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.​

    A trident is considered an entity, just like any item.
    Our despawn ranges are as such:
    Code:
        despawn-ranges:
      soft: 28
      hard: 96
    I cannot do anything to prevent tridents (which are an entity) from despawning if you are too careless with them throwing them very long distances. I am marking this denied as there's simply nothing I can do for this, however, I am speaking to the developers of our server software to see if perhaps they can do something to make tridents ignore despawn ranges.

    For now simply be careful with your tridents.
    We don't have an item butcher on ECC, I've said this dozens of times in the past, we do however have the above despawn ranges. Just don't throw your trident insanely far and you won't be risking it disappearing.
