Description
Universal Limits
UniversalLimits is a powerful server-side Minecraft mod designed for modded servers that need strict control over gameplay balance and progression.
It allows server owners and administrators to define hard limits and bans that cannot be bypassed by crafting, automation, JEI, or player tricks.
This mod is focused on performance, reliability, and administrative control, making it ideal for large modpacks and public servers.
✨ Main Features

- Ban any item or block by ID.
- Completely disables crafting, picking up, placing, using, storing, or interacting with banned items.
- Automatically removes banned items from:
- Player inventories
- Containers
- Dropped items
- Existing banned blocks already placed in the world are automatically removed when chunks load or when players are nearby.
- Crafting recipes for banned items are removed at the server level using a generated datapack:
- Items do not appear in the Recipe Book
- Crafting is fully blocked even with automation
- Fully persistent across server restarts.
