NetheriteLimiter
Fine-grained control over what netherite gear can be made, for Paper 1.21+.
Keep netherite tools while taking netherite armor out of the equation entirely — or configure exactly which pieces are craftable, per item, per category.
Features
- Per-item control — allow or block each individual tool and armor piece independently
- Category shortcuts — flip every tool or every armor piece at once with a single command
- Blocks both crafting and smithing — covers the crafting-table recipe result and the smithing-table upgrade/trim path
- Sensible defaults — all tools allowed, all armor blocked out of the box
- Owner tracking —
/maceplayer-style tracking so you know who made what (shared convention with the LifeSteal/MaceLimiter family of plugins) - Live reload — change the config and apply it without restarting

Editing config.yml directly and running /netherlimit reload works fine — but note that using the in-game toggle commands rewrites the file without comments (standard Bukkit config-saving behavior).
