Other modern Paper versions may work, but the plugin is built and tested specifically for the Paper 1.21.11 API.

Installation

1. Download the plugin JAR.
2. Place it inside your server's "plugins" folder.
3. Fully restart the server.
4. Run "/enchantlimiter".
5. Configure each enchantment through the GUI.

Avoid using "/reload", as it can cause issues with many Paper plugins.

Configuration

The plugin automatically creates its configuration files after the first startup.

You can control:

• Inventory scan frequency
• Whether custom-model items bypass enchantment limits
• Maximum levels for individual enchantments
• Completely banned enchantments

Why EnchantLimiter?

Vanilla Minecraft and other plugins can sometimes create items with enchantment levels far beyond what your server allows.

EnchantLimiter automatically detects and corrects those items, helping keep survival, PvP, SMP, and economy servers balanced without requiring complicated commands or manual item checks.
