Item Limiter
- By
A server-side Forge 1.16.5 mod that enforces configurable inventory limits — by quantity, conditional rules, or exclusive item groups — dropping any excess items on the ground when a player exceeds them.
Item Limit
Take full control of what players can carry. Item Limit is a lightweight, server-side mod that lets server admins define exactly how many of any item a player is allowed to have in their inventory — and automatically drops the excess on the ground the moment the limit is exceeded.
✦ Three restriction systems
Quantity Limits — Cap how many of a specific item any player can carry. Set a max of 5 diamonds, 64 arrows, or 1 of anything. Configured in a simple TOML file.
Exclusive Groups — Define a group of items where only a combined total of N is allowed across all of them. Perfect for mods like Sophisticated Backpacks: put all backpack tiers in one group with max: 1 and players can only carry one backpack, regardless of tier.
Conditional Blocks — Block an item if the player already has a specific combination of other items. Full AND logic support.
✦ How it works
The moment a player picks up, crafts, trades, or receives a restricted item in any way, the mod detects it and drops the excess at their feet. No dupes, no exploits, no workarounds.
✦ Server-side only
Clients do not need to install this mod. Drop the jar in your server's mods/ folder and you're done.
✦ Fully configurable
All rules live in three plain-text files in your config/ folder. No commands, no GUIs, no restarts needed after editing — just clean, readable JSON and TOML that any admin can manage.
