small one, but it's my favorite kind of plugin: the kind you forget is installed until it makes you smile.

every weapon or tool a player crafts gets quietly stamped with its maker's name and a kill counter. every kill with that weapon ticks the counter up, and the lore reads "forged by , kills: x". trade it, store it in a chest, pass it to a friend: the history sticks around because it's stored in persistent data, so it survives restarts, trades, and hoppers. watch a plain iron sword become a legend over a few weeks and tell me that's not cool.

there are no commands and no setup. it just works. which items get tagged and the exact lore format are in the config if you want to tweak them.

what it does

• auto-stamps crafted weapons and tools with maker name and kill counter
• kill tracking updates the lore line automatically
• lineage stored in persistent data: survives restarts, trades, chests
• zero commands, zero setup

setup

paper, purpur, or folia 1.21+, java 21. that's the whole plugin. which items get tagged and the lore format are configurable.
