Simple, lightweight block placement limiter for Paper servers
BlockLimiter lets you control how many of certain blocks players can place within a world. Perfect for preventing lag from excessive containers, managing economy balance, or limiting abuse of specific blocks like chests, shulker boxes, and more.
- 🔒 Limit placement of specific materials (e.g. CHEST, SHULKER_BOX)
- 🌍 Per-world control — only apply limits where you want
- ⚡ Lightweight & optimized for performance (Paper 1.21.11 ready)
- 🛠️ Supports wildcards (e.g. "*_SHULKER_BOX")
- 💬 Customizable messages with placeholders
- 🔄 Simple reload command (/blocklimiter reload)
- 🧩 Clean and minimal configuration
