Better Item Ban

by AeroAQ

Better Item Ban is a Forge utility that lets operators ban specific items from players on client and server.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Operators with permission level 2 can mark items as banned using four commands, for example itemban add minecraft:tnt. Once an item is banned, it is removed from players' inventories right away and cannot be obtained again while the ban stands. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Item ban command

    A set of four commands adds, removes and lists banned items by their registry identifier.

  2. Instant inventory removal

    Any banned item is taken out of player inventories as soon as the ban is applied.

  3. Blocked obtaining

    Players cannot pick up or obtain a banned item again for as long as it stays on the list.
