A lightweight Paper/Spigot plugin that makes all dropped items indestructible by default. Items cannot be destroyed by fire, lava, explosions, cacti, anvils, magic, or dragon breath unless you explicitly allow it.
How It Works:
Every dropped item entity is protected from damage. Only items you specifically list under a destruction category in config.yml will be destroyable by that method.
Void damage and natural despawn are always enabled The plugin never interferes with those.
Configuration:
After first run, edit plugins/NoItemDestruction/config.yml.
How to add items:
Each category starts empty; meaning all items are protected from that damage type:
fire: [] ← empty list, everything is protected from fire lava: [] ← empty list, everything is protected from lava
To allow specific items to be destroyed, replace [] with a list underneath.
Each item goes on its own line, starting with - (two spaces, a dash, then a space):
fire:
- minecraft:oak_log
- minecraft:stick
lava:
- minecraft:oak_log
example:
(Oak logs and sticks can burn in fire:) fire:
- minecraft:oak_log
- minecraft:stick
(Oak logs can be destroyed by lava:) lava:
- minecraft:oak_log
(TNT can be destroyed by explosions:) explosion:
- minecraft:tnt
Everything else stays fully protected (empty = protected): cactus: [] anvil: [] magic: [] dragon_breath: []
