The Mace has been notoriously easy to obtain since the introduction of Trial Chambers, often outshining the other rewards vaults have to offer. This plugin lets server owners rebalance that by reducing the Mace's drop chance from Trial Chambers vaults to whatever rate feels right for their server.
Features
- Configurable drop chance — set the Mace's chance to drop (0.0 to 1.0) in
config.yml, or set it to1.0to restore vanilla behavior - Permission bypass — grant
hardertofindmace.bypassto let specific players or ranks always receive the vanilla drop rate - Optional logging — toggle logging of prevented Mace drops for debugging or server moderation
- Vault-only targeting — only affects Mace drops from Trial Chambers vaults (regular and ominous); no other loot is touched
Configuration
# Chance for the Mace to drop from Trial Chambers vaults (0.0 to 1.0)
mace-drop-chance: 0.05
# Whether to log when Mace drops are prevented
log-prevented-drops: true
Permissions
| Permission | Description | Default |

Built for Paper (and forks like Purpur) on Minecraft 1.21.x. Should also work on vanilla Spigot, since the event used is standard Bukkit API.
