NoNetherite

Keep diamond as the ceiling — on its own, no lifesteal plugin required.

NoNetherite blocks netherite gear from ever entering play, so a server can hold the line at diamond-tier equipment without needing a full Lifesteal system attached. It's the gear-restriction half of Ceezun's LifeSteal plugin, pulled out and published as its own standalone download for owners who want just this feature.

Features

⛔ Diamond Is the Ceiling

Blocks the smithing-table upgrade from diamond to netherite gear, and blocks equipping or holding netherite armor pieces outright — no upgrading, no wearing, no exceptions.

🧹 Join-Time Cleanup

Strips any netherite armor a player is already wearing when they join, so turning the rule on mid-server doesn't leave existing gear grandfathered in.

🛠️ Fully Configurable Material List

Not hard-locked to netherite — set your own restricted material list if you want to hold the line at a different tier too.

🔓 Op Bypass

An op-only bypass permission lets staff and build servers keep using netherite where the restriction shouldn't apply.

Part of the Ceezun's LifeSteal family

NoNetherite's gear-restriction system also ships built into Ceezun's LifeSteal, the full Lifesteal SMP core plugin — where it works alongside heart-based lives, the Heart item, Netherite Beacon revivals, enchant caps, and a bundled SimpleMace module, all in one jar. If you're running (or considering) a Lifesteal server, Ceezun's LifeSteal gives you this feature already switched on as part of the complete package.
