You can blacklist items to be removed with all features above. Disable Only Specific NBT in Items. You can blackliist items that have specific NBT tags. Works with regex too! Disable Only Item Attacks. You can blacklist items to only disable its attacks. Disable Only Item Interaction. You can blacklist items to only disable interactions (Right-Click). Disable Only Recipes. You can blacklist recipes only if they contain the item. FAQ Can I use this in my modpack? Of course! It was designed for modpack creators to remove undesired items that may unbalance the game or create issues. Client or server? The mod is needed on both client and server. As it has some client features, but also server ones. Can work server-side only, but JEI/REI/EMI and creative tab removals won't work. What if I mispell an item ID in the config file? Nothing will happen. Adding invalid ID's won't cause issues, but obviously the item won't be blacklisted as it technically doesn't exist. Same thing would happen if the mod isn't present, but it will be if it's added later and the ID is valid. Example Configuration: Configuration is as simple as adding JSON entries for each item you want to obliterate. Items can be from vanilla or any mod, you just have to add the id with the proper namespace, like minecraft:golden_apple It's located inside the config folder, with the file "item_obliterator.json5" (>=2.0.0) or "item_obliterator.json" (< 2.0.0)

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Utility & QoL on NeoForge, Forge, Fabric, Quilt. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is Jun 25, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

  • Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
  • Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
  • Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
  • Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
  • Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
