# NotDqshers Item Limiter A lightweight Paper plugin for capping how many of any item or potion a player can carry, or banning items outright. Limits are set visually — hold the item, run the command, place however many you want to allow into the GUI, and that's your limit. No editing YAML by hand. ## Features - Set limits visually with `/itemlimit set` — no config editing - Ban items completely — they get deleted on sight, not dropped - Click-to-unban and click-to-remove-limit GUIs (since banned items can't be held) - Catches items hidden in bundles, shulker boxes, and ender chests - Scans chests the moment they're opened - Everything's blocked instantly (pickup, crafting, clicking) — the periodic sweep is just a backup - Sweep interval is configurable and won't lag out big servers - `itemlimit.bypass` to exempt staff ## Commands | Command | Description | Permission | |---|---|---| | `/itemlimit set` | Hold an item → opens the deposit GUI to set its limit | `itemlimit.use` | | `/itemlimit limits` | View all active limits in a paginated GUI | `itemlimit.use` | | `/itemlimit ban` | Hold an item, then confirm within 10s to ban it | `itemlimit.use` | | `/itemlimit unban` | Opens a GUI listing banned items — click to unban | `itemlimit.use` | | `/itemlimit removelimit` | Opens a GUI listing limited items — click to remove | `itemlimit.use` | | `/itemlimit reload` | Reload `config.yml` without restarting | `itemlimit.admin` | Aliases: `/il`, `/ilimit` ## Permissions | Permission | Description | Default | |---|---|---| | `itemlimit.use` | Access to all commands and GUIs | OP | | `itemlimit.admin` | Access to `/itemlimit reload` | OP | | `itemlimit.bypass` | Bypass all item limits and bans | false | ## Configuration <details> <summary>config.yml</summary> ```yaml # ============================================================ # NotDqshers item limiter — config.yml # ============================================================ # # COMMANDS # -------- # /itemlimit set Hold an item, opens the deposit GUI. # Place however many you want allowed — # that count becomes the limit. # # /itemlimit limits Opens a GUI showing all active limits # and banned items. # # /itemlimit ban Hold an item, then confirm within 10s # to ban it.
