LimitedMaces

LimitedMaces is a lightweight server-side plugin that gives server owners full control over how many Maces can exist on the server at any given time. Perfect for hardcore, SMP, or special-event servers where powerful items should stay rare and meaningful.

💡 Want a one-mace server like the Lifesteal SMP? Just set the mace limit to 1!

✨ Features

• 🔢 Global Mace Limit
  Set a hard cap on how many maces may exist across the entire server.

• 🧠 Offline Player Tracking
  Maces are tracked even while players are offline — no loopholes.

• 🚫 Container Restrictions
  Maces cannot be placed into:

  • Chests
  • Barrels
  • Shulker Boxes
  • Any other container

• ⚙️ Crafting Control

  • The mace crafting recipe is disabled automatically once the limit is reached
  • Autocrafters cannot craft maces
  • Players receive a clear message when the limit is reached

• 🧲 Hopper Protection

  • Hoppers cannot pick up maces

• 💥 Destruction Handling

  • When a mace is destroyed:
    • A server-wide broadcast is sent
    • A new mace can be crafted again (until the limit is reached)

• 🧹 Illegal Mace Cleanup

  • Untracked or duplicated maces are automatically removed

• ✨ Optional Enchanting

  • Control whether maces can be enchanted
  • When allow-mace-enchanting is true, maces can be placed into Enchanting Tables and Anvils
  • When false, maces cannot be placed into enchant tables or anvils, making them completely unenchantable
