TagBan
TagBan lets server owners and players disable selected tools and items with regex patterns, applied through a blacklist or whitelist.
What it does
Blocked items are chosen by regular expression, so one pattern can cover a whole family of tools. A blacklist disables matching items, while a whitelist allows only the matching ones. Changes made to the blacklist or whitelist configuration folder take effect without editing the mods themselves. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency that adds an in-game settings screen. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest Forge and NeoForge file, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.
Key features
Regex-based item rules
Tools and items are matched against regular expression patterns, so a single rule can disable many related entries.
Blacklist and whitelist modes
Matching items can be blocked or, in whitelist mode, everything not listed is blocked, with tooltip feedback in the game.
Editable configuration folder
Rules are stored in the configuration folder, where the blacklist or whitelist can be edited without changing the mod files.

How it compares
Keep Inventory Control is server-side only for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 on Fabric and open source under the MIT License, so it controls inventory rather than items. Mod Whitelist covers 1.20 – 1.20.4 on Fabric and Forge and is open source under the MIT License; either side can run it, and neither needs it. Both differ from TagBan in which rules they apply and in their version range.
