Hello! I'd like to blacklist a few items from backpacks but unfortunately, I've already got quite a few people using them. I tried blacklisting an item no one will have in their bp and it was deleted. Is there a way to make it so the items only aren't able to insert into the bp when they're blacklisted? I'd like to not hassle players to remove the items I want to blacklist beforehand. Thanks!

It sounds like there are two primary use cases for this.

  1. Unplanned blacklisting of items, such as after new items are added to the game, or balancing changes are needed
  2. Planned blacklisting of items scheduled to happen some time after a wipe (sounds like your use case)
I've sketched out a solution, but realized that allowing blacklisted items to remain in the backpack could be considered an exploit for some server designs as it would allow players to continue to use their stockpile of an item throughout a wipe. To solve this, we can make it so that the blacklisted items will drop in front of the player the next time the backpack is opened. This is a pretty sensible default so I'm planning to implement this without any config options. If server owners want to actually delete the items rather than drop them, a config option for that can be added upon request.
