Per-World Limits
Need different limits for different worlds?
Each world can have its own configuration, allowing you to set stricter limits in survival while using different values in creative, resource, or event worlds.
PlaceholderAPI
PlaceholderAPI is optional.
If PlaceholderAPI is not installed, zMBlockLimiter will continue working normally. Only placeholders will be unavailable.
Available Placeholders
| Placeholder | Description |
| %zmblocklimiter_limit_[BLOCK]% | Displays the configured limit for the block. |
| %zmblocklimiter_remaining_[BLOCK]% | Displays how many blocks remain before reaching the limit. |
| %zmblocklimiter_blockcount_[BLOCK]% | Displays the current amount of that block in the player's chunk. |
