🛥️ BoatLimiter
BoatLimiter is a plugin I created to stop excessive boat spam and the massive lag it can cause on servers.
The main reason for this was a common problem: players building so-called elytra launchers, where hundreds of boats get stacked into one spot using dispensers. This can easily drop your server’s TPS down to 0 within seconds. That’s exactly what BoatLimiter is designed to prevent.
With this plugin, you can control how many boats are allowed in a small area (radius) and per chunk — no matter if they’re placed by players or automatically through dispensers or droppers.
It’s easy to set up, simple to configure, and works right away without needing anything else.
✨ Features
- Limit how many boats can be placed in a certain radius
- Limit how many boats are allowed per chunk
- Stops players and machines from stacking boats in one spot
- Fully configurable via
config.yml - Can be enabled or disabled per world
- Logs blocked actions (with built-in anti-spam)
- Includes a small stats system to track abuse
- Detailed permission & bypass system
- Supports English & German (with fallback)
- Works perfectly with LuckPerms
- Made for real server use
⚠️ Dispenser & Dropper Protection
BoatLimiter also handles boat spam coming from:
- Dispensers
- Droppers
- Redstone builds using dispensers
Important: This plugin does not break normal redstone.
It only limits boat placement from dispensers and droppers.
