Uncraftable Mace / No mace
by AntDev
Uncraftable Mace stops the mace from being crafted in survival, and a datapack removes existing maces from a world.
What it does
Uncraftable Mace is a datapack that blocks the mace recipe, so players cannot craft one in survival mode. Installing it into the world's datapacks folder and restarting the world applies the change, and it also deletes maces already present. Removing the datapack and restarting the world restores crafting. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.2, and it is released under the MIT License, not as open source.
Key features
Blocked mace recipe
The crafting recipe for the mace is disabled, so survival players cannot make new ones.
Existing maces removed
Maces already in a world are deleted when the datapack is loaded, not only future crafts.
Reversible by removal
Taking the datapack out of the datapacks folder and restarting the world brings crafting back.
