CustomAnvilRenameable

by ALINGCAT

CustomAnvilRenameable restricts which items can be renamed at an anvil, using a configurable list of items or mods.

ForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

By default the mod works as a blacklist: items matching the configuration cannot be renamed through an anvil. When blacklist mode is switched off, the mod flips to whitelist behavior and anvil renaming is allowed only for items that match the config entries. It runs on the server side alone, so players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Blocked item renaming

    Items named in the configuration cannot be renamed on an anvil, including items from a particular mod.

  2. Blacklist mode

    Blacklist mode is on by default, so matching items are refused while every other item can still be renamed.

  3. Whitelist mode

    Disabling blacklist mode makes the list an allow list, so only the matching items can be renamed at an anvil.
