My entities aren't being cleared!

By default, the plugin will only remove entities that are in groups of 15 or more. This is to prevent natural mobs from simply spawning right back causing more lag than necessary, although it can be changed in the config under the nearby-entities section.

Can I use this to remove dropped items?

Yes, but use Paper's alternate item despawn rates if you want items to despawn faster. Plugins like this shouldn't be used to remove dropped items as it would likely be more inefficient than just letting them despawn naturally. While EntityClearer does have the ability to remove dropped items, I highly advise against removing them as they rarely cause any significant amount of server lag (especially compared to mobs) and it's often more annoying to the players than anything.

Can this be used to remove stacked entities?

Not in any meaningful way. The plugin sees stacked entities as one entity with a nametag applied. You'll be best off using one plugin or the other, but not both.

Does this plugin work on hybrid servers or special forks?

It might, but it might not. Regardless, support will not be provided for issues with the plugin running on a hybrid server or customized fork. Only Paper is officially supported.
