PvP Limits
by No Content
PvP Limits lets server owners restrict which items can be used in Minecraft PvP combat, on a Fabric server.
What it does
Server owners can limit which items players may use when fighting other players, so PvP fights are limited to the gear the owner allows. The mod is a Fabric server-side mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Limits are applied on the server, which keeps the rules consistent for everyone who connects.
Fabric API is required, and Fabric Language Kotlin is required as well, so both must be present on the server next to PvP Limits. Builds target Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the latest file is 1.0.3 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-06-19. The code is released under The Unlicense and is open source.
PvP Limits is listed under Equipment, with secondary categories Game mechanics, Utility and Management. The mod was first published on 2026-06-11 and last updated on 2026-06-19. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are all public.

Who it’s for: Server owners who run Minecraft Java Edition servers on Fabric and want to control which items are used in player-versus-player fights.
