Reliable Remover Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Where do I put my ban files?
Create a folder called `reliableremover` inside your `config` directory, then place your text files there. The mod reads all `.txt` files in that folder when you load the game or run `/reload`.
What's the correct syntax for banning an item?
Use the item's full namespace ID on a new line, like `minecraft:diamond_sword`. You can find the correct ID by hovering over an item in creative mode while holding F3 (or using a recipe viewer).
Do I need to restart Minecraft after editing my ban list?
No—just run `/reload` in-game and your changes take effect instantly. This saves you from closing and reopening the entire game.
Can I ban items only in specific dimensions?
Yes, you can organize your ban files by dimension folder (like `nether/` or `end/`) so items are only removed in those worlds while remaining available elsewhere.
Will banned items disappear from my inventory?
Banned items already in your inventory stay there, but they won't appear in creative mode, recipe menus, or loot drops going forward.
Does this mod work with modded items?
Yes—as long as you use the correct namespace ID for the modded item (usually `modname:itemname`), the mod will ban it the same way it bans vanilla items.
Can I ban items from being traded by villagers?
Yes, when you ban an item, villagers automatically stop offering it in their trade menus without any extra configuration needed.
What happens if I use the wrong item ID?
The mod will ignore that line silently—the item won't be banned. Double-check the ID spelling and namespace using a recipe viewer or creative menu tooltip.
Does Reliable Remover slow down my game?
No—the mod runs independently without requiring extra libraries and has minimal performance impact since it only filters items at load time and during `/reload`.
Can I organize my bans into multiple files?
Yes, you can create as many `.txt` files as you want in the `reliableremover` config folder, and the mod will read them all—this helps keep your settings organized.
