Introduction

The item buffer component can:

• Prevent the spawning of new items when a chunk reaches it's limit
• Automatically re-spawn the item once the count drops
• Prevent client and server lag caused by too many items lying around, including during explosions

Buffering items

While you could just remove the items, that would be a sssshame. It's not funny if you lose your diamond because of this! Therefore items will respawn once the count in the chunk drops again. If you find that it reaches the limit too early without a real reason, increase the maximum amount of items per chunk. It is on 40 right now.

Should you use it?

If you commonly mess around with world editing plugin and accidentally turn a massive amount of blocks into items, this plugin will take the hit. The same for torch-sand traps, which can cause a lot of lag because of all the torches. It also takes away some lag caused by items laying around after explosions.
