Netherite Disabler

Disable specific netherite items on your server.

Overview

The Netherite Disabler lets you block specific netherite items. You can disable just the armor but keep tools, block everything, or any combination. Players can't upgrade to a disabled item at the smithing table.

Why disable netherite?

Diamond vs diamond PvP is more skill-based. Netherite armor's knockback resistance changes the combat feel noticeably, and the stat gap makes diamond gear feel pointless once someone reaches netherite. You can disable specific items — blocking just the armor while keeping tools is a common setup.

Disabled Items

Each item type can be individually toggled:

How it works

When an item is disabled, players can't upgrade to it at the smithing table and can't use it if they already have one. Only the specific types you disable are affected.

Using the GUI

1. Run /smp to open the main menu
2. Click on the Netherite Disabler option
3. Toggle individual items on/off
4. Changes take effect immediately

The GUI displays each netherite item type with its current status:

• Red = Disabled
• Green = Allowed
