    Minimum value - 0

    Maximum value - 999[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][p]ADDITIONAL NOTES ON ITEM DECAY[/p][p]We’ve updated the default item decay damage multiplier where the value of 1.0 will now corresponds to what the 0.2 multiplier used to do.

Previously: A value of 1.0 caused roughly 7.5% decay per 24 hours.
Now: A value of 1.0 causes roughly 1.4% decay per 24 hours.

Having said that, we’ll be updating official servers from 0.2 → 1.0. We also recommend that private server owners who have adjusted this setting review their configurations and consider updating them accordingly.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
As always, if something pops up and you've found that something slipped through the cracks, make sure to let us know via:
