Clear All Dropped Items

Remove item drops lying on the ground to stop lag or clean up. Run: /kill @e[type=item]. Instantly deletes every dropped item entity in loaded chunks — useful after a big explosion, a mob farm session, or to clear entity lag. It does not touch items in chests or inventories, only floating drops. There is no undo, so grab anything you want to keep first. Works on Java 26.2 and Bedrock 26.32. Last verified June 2026.
