This behavior can significantly contribute to entity lag, especially in modded environments with increased mob variety and spawn rates. LMD modifies the despawn check to allow these mobs to despawn naturally, like any other mob. To prevent item loss, any picked up or equipped items are dropped when the entity despawns. > **Note**: Mobs named with a name tag will still be prevented from despawning naturally. --- ## Configuration (Version 1.2.1 and later) ### Config File - Location: `config/letmedespawn.json` - Reload command: `/almanac reload` ### Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/letmedespawn add <mobName>` | Add mobs to the config | | `/letmedespawn remove <mobName>` | Remove mobs from the config | Mobs added to the config will retain their vanilla behavior and not despawn after picking up items. All commands update the mob list in real-time, eliminating the need for game restarts or manual reloads. --- ## Installation This is a server-side mod and is not required on the client. ---
