❓ What Makes This Plugin Special?

Unlike other crafting limit plugins, ItemCraftingLimit doesn't just count how many times items are crafted - it actively tracks and enforces server-wide limits with intelligent player tracking and anti-abuse protection.

The Problem: You want only 1 mace on your server, but players can dupe it, spawn it from creative mode, or find exploits.

Our Solution: Real-time inventory scanning + SQLite database tracking + Smart enforcement = Total Control

✨ Core Features

True Server-Wide Limits
  • Set maximum crafts for ANY vanilla Minecraft item
  • Only X items can exist on your entire server
  • Perfect for rare items: maces, dragon eggs, totems, beacons, netherite
  • Configure UNLIMITED different items simultaneously

Intelligent Tracking System
  • SQLite Database - Tracks WHO crafted WHAT and HOW MANY
  • Real-Time Scanning - Automatically checks all player inventories
  • Smart Detection - Knows the difference between legit items and duped ones
  • Persistent Data - Survives server restarts, never loses track

️ Anti-Abuse Protection
  • Creative Mode Protection - Staff can't spawn unlimited items
  • Anti-Dupe Detection - Automatically removes duplicated items
  • Pickup Prevention - Blocks picking up items that exceed limits
  • Excess Removal - Intelligently removes surplus items

Trading-Friendly Design
  • Players CAN trade items with each other freely
  • Server-wide counting - Only total matters, not individual ownership
  • Fair distribution - Remove items from non-crafters first
  • Normal gameplay - No restrictions on legitimate item transfers

⚙️ Flexible Configuration
  • Per-Item Settings - Each item has independent rules
  • Three Protection Levels - Basic limit / Inventory check / Full protection
  • Adjustable Scan Interval - Balance security vs server performance
  • Hot Reload - Update config without restarting server

How It Actually Works

Example: Limiting Maces (limit: 1)

Code (Text):

Step 1: Player1 crafts 1 mace
✓ Database records: Player1 = 1 craft
✓ Server total: 1/1 maces
✓ Status: Perfect!

Step 2: Player1 gives mace to Player2
✓ Player2 now has the mace (Player1 has none)
✓ Server total: Still 1/1 maces
✓ Status: Trading allowed, no problem!

Step 3: Admin spawns 2nd mace from creative
✗ Server total: 2/1 maces (LIMIT EXCEEDED!)
✗ Scanner detects excess after 10 seconds
✗ Removes 1 mace from player who didn't craft it
✓ Result: Back to 1/1 maces

Step 4: Player3 tries to craft another mace
✗ Server limit already reached (1/1)
✗ Crafting blocked immediately
✗ Message: "Server crafting limit reached!"
 
Key Point: Legitimate items stay safe, only excess/duped items are removed!
