CarryCap – Item Limits
by SuffixHD
CarryCap lets a Fabric server operator cap how many matching items a player may hold at once, using in-game commands.
What it does
Operators set per-player item tag limits, such as a cap on totems, bundles or shulker boxes, and manage the caps directly in Minecraft. Matching item types are counted together, and when caps overlap, each one still applies. Rules can target a single totem limit, a shared allowance across several logs or any other scarce item, and changes save as soon as a command is run.
The mod is a server-side Fabric mod that requires Fabric API, and no client mod is needed. It runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 with Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer and Java 21 or newer. Administration requires vanilla operator level 2 or higher with gamemaster permission, while ordinary players can read the help and check their own carried totals. The mod is published under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Per-player item tag limits
Caps apply to a player's carried items across the main inventory, hotbar, armor, offhand, menu and cursor, including matching contents inside vanilla bundles and shulker boxes.
Command-based rule editing
Rules are set with in-game commands, with Tab completion for item IDs and values, and a help command that explains how to create the first rule.
Colored status feedback
Green confirms saved changes, yellow marks warnings when a cap is reached, and red explains why an action is blocked or input is invalid.
Cap enforcement rules
An incoming ground stack that would exceed the cap stays on the ground, while excess from other actions is dropped at the end of the server tick. Crafting and trading inputs are refunded or rolled back.

Use cases
Scarce item survival rules
Server owners can limit totems or similar scarce items so a single player cannot stockpile them.
Container-aware limits
Because matching contents inside bundles and shulker boxes count toward the cap, a container cannot hide extra items.
Who it’s for: Fabric server operators who want to limit how many matching items each player carries.
How it compares
Totem Limiter is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. SimpleTotemCounter is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it runs on players' clients rather than the server.
