BanNetherite Disable Netherite, Block Upgrades, Limit Maces

BanNetherite is a lightweight anti-Netherite plugin built for modern Paper/Spigot servers.
It fully disables Netherite crafting, upgrades, trims, and usage, while still allowing custom plugin/datapack recipes. Designed for SMPs that want a more balanced, progression-focused experience.
