Help Do entities automatically get deleted ?

[one227]

On a tekkit server do enetities like blocks on the floor automatically get deleted after a certain time ?

just wondering because blocks don't seem to disappear on the server I play.

Yes, just like in vanilla minecraft they despawn after 5 minutes of being in a LOADED chunk on the floor. Entities in unloaded chunks do not build up time toward the 5 minutes, and will exist indefinitely until somebody loads the chunk they are in (so if you die in the middle of nowhere, you can go back 5 days later and get your stuff, as long as you don't linger for more than 5 minutes within a few hundred blocks of the area)
