We are experiencing some issues with some configurations found in the global.conf file, some settings are getting ignored in our server while some others do not. We set the settings while the server is off.
A setting we do note is not working is item-despawn-rate=, and the items take full 10 minutes before disappearing. We have tried doing fresh installs, backups, looking at the forge configurations and level.dat, but with no luck. The config keeps getting ignored.
The files we are using are: spongeforge-1.12.2-2838-7.2.3.jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2854.jar
Java 8u212
OS: Alpine Linux
Yes, we know the forge and sponge versions do not match, but we were suggested to use the up-to-date forge if we needed.
I haven’t tested on that version specifically, but I have used item-despawn-rate successfully in the past. There is a chance that another modern plugin is overriding some things.
Also, make sure that when you update the config you are doing so while the server is off (or use /sponge reload -g, although I recommend turning off, editing, and turning back in)
There are currently no other mods/plugins in the mods folder.
I, too, have used this setting and got it to work in the past, but with no luck in the present
The server is off while we edit the .conf, and do /sponge reload -g after we enter the server.
I know this is a super weird “bug”; we are using a forge server and dropped the spongeforge in the mods!
