Clumps

The Clumps modification is specifically designed to enhance the experience collection process in Minecraft. The plugin merges nearby XP orbs and allows players to instantly absorb them when in proximity, significantly reducing server load and providing smoother gameplay.

Main Features

Automatic XP Orb Merging

The system automatically combines XP orbs within a specified radius. This reduces the number of individual entities on the server, positively impacting performance.

Instant Absorption

As soon as a player approaches XP orbs, they are immediately added to their experience. The need to wait for orbs to reach the character disappears, making the collection process much more comfortable.

Extensive Customization

The plugin offers broad configuration capabilities through a configuration file. You can adjust:

• Merge area size for XP orbs
• Minimum XP amount for merging
• Check and merge frequency
• Instant collection radius

Experience Bonus

Players near merged XP orbs receive additional benefits through an increased experience amount using a special multiplier.

Visual Effects

Enabled particle animations during XP orb merging make the process more visible and visually appealing.

World-Specific Settings

Each dimension can have individual parameters for XP orb behavior. The Overworld, Nether, and other server dimensions can be configured separately.

Duplication Protection

The system prevents XP orb multiplication in high-density areas, which is a common cause of server lag.
