ZenLootCyclingDetection

NOTE: This mod is included in my modpack and can be enabled/disabled via ZenLootCyclingDetection in ZenModPackConfig.json

What Is This?

This mod helps admins to track loot cycling and auto-warn players who are doing it to deter their behaviour.

Loot cycling is when a player picks up an item without any intention of actually keeping or using it, and immediately drops it nearby to force a new item to spawn in the old location.

This behaviour can result in a negative impact on server performance and even the server loot economy if it's abused on a large scale - this mod helps admins to keep track of obvious offenders and deal with them as you see fit.

Config Example:

Config file: profiles/Zenarchist/ZenLootCyclingDetectionConfig.json

{
    "ConfigVersion": "1.29.1", // Don't touch
    "Enabled": 1, // Enable/disable the mod
    "SecondsBetweenPickupAndDrop": 10, // If an item is picked up & dropped within this many seconds, count it as a +1 loot cycle
    "SecondsTilResetCounter": 1800, // If a player has not loot cycled in this many seconds, reset their counter to zero
    "LootCycleCountForWarning": 10, // If a player has loot cycled this many times, trigger a notification to them and save them to the DB
    "LootCycleWarningTitle": "LOOT CYCLING",
    "LootCycleWarningMessage": "Our automatic loot cycling detection system has flagged you for loot cycling.<br/><br/>If you are not loot cycling you can safely ignore this warning.<br/><br/><b><color rgba='255,255,60,255'>But if you <i>are</i> loot cycling, please stop now, as an admin will investigate your activity and repeat offenses could result in a ban.</color></b>",
    "LootCyclingOffenders": {
        "PlayerBohemiaID": 32 // Number of times this player ID has potentially loot cycled in total across all their play time
    }
