Limited Mace
by daddyAdrian
Limited Mace lets only one Mace be crafted per world, and crafting attempts after the first are blocked until an operator resets the limit.
What it does
Once a player crafts the first Mace in a world, every later attempt to craft one is refused, including attempts made through automated crafters. Shift-clicking a recipe cannot produce a stack of Maces either, which keeps mass-crafting out of the world. The restriction is tracked per world, so a new world starts with its own single allowance.
Server owners reset the limit with a command, after which one more Mace can be crafted. Because the check happens on the server, the server is the side that must run the mod, while players can join without installing anything. Limited Mace requires Fabric API on Fabric and is published for Fabric 1.21.8 only.
The project is not open source. Its code is covered by the All rights reserved license, though a public source code link exists. The current Fabric file is 1.0.1, released 2025-08-22, following the first release on 2025-08-15.

Shift-clicking a Mace recipe cannot produce several Maces at once.
Automated crafter blocking
Crafters and other automated systems are refused the same way as players once the first Mace exists.

Use cases
Scarcity on a survival server
A server can keep the Mace rare by allowing one per world and resetting it only when an operator decides to.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to limit a single item in survival worlds, and operators who prefer to control crafting through commands rather than datapacks.
How it compares
Mace No More runs on Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.5 with server required and client optional, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Give me my mace! is server-side only, licensed All rights reserved and not open source, for 1.21.11. Limited Mace covers only 1.21.8, and a client never needs to install it.
