Spoiler: Equipment & stat notes
Supported: swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, maces, tridents, armor and elytra. Reforge one item at a time; non-equipment items, stacks, bows and shields are excluded.
Bonuses apply in the intended equipment slot. Attack affects melee damage; Armor changes the native armor attribute. Max Health is measured in half-hearts. Durability is a chance to prevent a durability-loss event, not extra maximum durability.
Lite focuses on reforging. Gems, addons, custom skills, custom drops and rainbow effects are outside this edition. Migration to the full edition has not been verified. Lite is permanently free, with no trial period or paid feature unlock.

Spoiler: Backups, recovery & metrics
If your inventory is full, pending equipment stays in escrow instead of being dropped. Free a slot and reopen the forge. Finish all pending decisions and collect staged items before uninstalling, including items belonging to offline players.
The journal reduces interrupted-transfer risk; it does not guarantee protection from every crash, disk failure or plugin conflict. Preserve plugin journals and player data together when investigating recovery errors. Do not delete journals or strip transfer markers. Back up the stopped server and use a normal restart when replacing the JAR.
Anonymous usage metrics use bStats. You can opt out by setting enabled: false in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
