Item Blacklist
A mod to "remove" items from the game.
About this Mod
This mod requires Fabric API.
Item Blacklist is a server-side mod to "remove" items from the game.
The mod has a command-based configuration system that allows server administrators to add or remove items from the blacklist. Players will be unable to interact with blacklisted items in any way whatsoever.
Note: If players attempt to craft blacklisted items, neither the blacklisted item nor the items used up in crafting it can be recovered, which will result in players losing the input items and not getting anything in return.
Previous versions of this mod also require the CompleteConfig mod to be installed in order for the configuration system to function properly.
(Make sure to install the version of CompleteConfig that corresponds to the version of the mod you ae using. The corresponding versions of CompleteConfig are mentioned in the "Dependencies" section of each version of this mod.)
Credits
- Huge shoutout to robotkoer for creating and maintaining the Fabulously Optimized modpack, as it was the only way I could play Minecraft properly! Without this modpack, I would have never played MC Java, and as a result, never gotten into modding the game.
- Another huge shoutout to Kaupenjoe for his Java Introduction and Minecraft Fabric Modding Tutorial playlists! They're a great resource for anyone who wants to get started with Minecraft modding.
- I'm truly grateful to Devin for making an extremely high-quality icon for this mod on short notice.
- Thanks a lot to the Fabric community on Discord and GitHub Discussions and to Kaupenjoe's community on Discord for helping me out with the various issues I had when making this mod and tolerating my stupid mistakes.
- Thanks to Lortseam for helping me use CompleteConfig to create the configuration system used by previous versions of this mod.
- This mod was inspired by the plugin on the official LifeSteal SMP that prevented players from interacting with harming arrows in-game, so credit goes to the LifeSteal SMP for inspiring this mod!
You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the Modrinth ecosystem.
