RS-ItemMagnet
Automated Item Collection for Modern Minecraft Servers
Overview
RS-ItemMagnet is an automated item collection plugin designed for Minecraft servers that want reliable resource logistics without the complexity of traditional hopper-heavy collection systems.
Players place and configure ItemMagnets to automatically attract nearby dropped items and route them into a designated container while server owners maintain full control through configurable settings, filters, radius controls, permissions, and administrative tools.
Built from the ground up with performance, scalability, and long-term server operation in mind.
Why RS-ItemMagnet?
Traditional collection systems often create:
- Excessive hopper usage
- Server lag
- Large item build-ups
- Complicated item transport systems
- Difficult maintenance and troubleshooting
RS-ItemMagnet replaces those systems with a clean, configurable, database-backed solution that is easy for players to use and easy for administrators to manage.
