Block gravity

NoGravity
Simple, configurable block gravity control

Support Minecraft 1.8.8 through 26.2 with one lightweight jar.

About NoGravity

NoGravity gives server owners control over which gravity-affected blocks are allowed to fall. Disable gravity for sand, gravel, concrete powder, and more through one straightforward configuration file.

The plugin is lightweight, has no dependencies, and caches its configuration in memory so block physics events do not repeatedly read from disk.

Features

• Per-material control — enable or disable gravity independently for each supported block
• Wide version support — designed for Minecraft 1.8.8 through 26.2
• One jar — use the same plugin jar on legacy and modern servers
• Lightweight — no external dependencies or unnecessary background tasks
• Fast reloads — update the configuration without restarting the server
• Version safe — materials unavailable on an older server are skipped automatically
• Spigot compatible — works with Spigot, Paper, and compatible Bukkit-based servers
