BanNetherite Disable Netherite, Block Upgrades, Limit Maces

BanNetherite is a lightweight anti-Netherite plugin built for modern Paper/Spigot servers. It fully disables Netherite crafting, upgrades, trims, and usage, while still allowing custom plugin/datapack recipes. Designed for SMPs that want a more balanced, progression-focused experience.

Features

✔ Blocks crafting of all Netherite gear ✔ Prevents Netherite upgrade & trim smithing ✔ Stops players from using, holding, or equipping Netherite items ✔ Fully supports plugin/datapack custom recipes — only vanilla Netherite is blocked ✔ One-Time Mace Rule — only ONE Mace can be crafted on the entire server ✔ Prevents Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template usage ✔ Silent spam-protected messages (players don't get flooded) ✔ Lightweight, zero-lag, drop-in ready ✔ Bypass permission: nonetherite.bypass
