Item Blacklist
by TechPro424
Item Blacklist is a Fabric server mod that stops selected items from being used, crafted or kept in play through admin-managed commands.
What it does
Server administrators add and remove items on a blacklist with commands, so the list is changed in-game without editing files. Once an item is blacklisted, players cannot interact with it in any way, and attempts to craft it leave both the blacklisted item and its ingredients untouched, with no result returned.
The mod is a server-side mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21.11 and 26.2, plus 1.2.0-mc26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source repository and issue tracker. Fabric API is required.
The mod was inspired by a plugin from the LifeSteal SMP community that blocked players from interacting with harming arrows, and in-game credit goes to that server. Its configuration system was built with the CompleteConfig library, which earlier releases required; the matching CompleteConfig version is listed in the mod's Dependencies section.
Key features
Command-based blacklist
Administrators add or remove items on the blacklist through commands, with no file editing needed.
Full interaction block
Blacklisted items cannot be used or interacted with by players in any way.
Crafting protection
A failed craft of a blacklisted item consumes neither the blacklisted result nor the input items.
Item removal from the game
The mod removes items from play on the server, so content can be limited without changing datapacks.

How it compares
Mob Blacklist is also a server-side Fabric mod under the MIT License and is open source, but it covers mobs for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 rather than items. ChatPurity is server-side only as well, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.20 – 1.21.11, and it filters chat messages instead of items. Item Pickup Blacklist is client-side only, not open source, and has files for 26.2 alone, so it changes what a player can collect rather than what the server allows.
