BoatLimiter
BoatLimiter prevents boat spam by limiting boat placement per radius and per chunk, including dispenser-based placement. Fully configurable, permission-based, and multilingual.
🛥️ BoatLimiter
BoatLimiter is a plugin I created to stop excessive boat spam and the massive lag it can cause on servers.
The main reason for this was a common problem: players building so-called elytra launchers, where hundreds of boats get stacked into one spot using dispensers. This can easily drop your server’s TPS down to 0 within seconds. That’s exactly what BoatLimiter is designed to prevent.
With this plugin, you can control how many boats are allowed in a small area (radius) and per chunk — no matter if they’re placed by players or automatically through dispensers or droppers.
It’s easy to set up, simple to configure, and works right away without needing anything else.

⚠️ Dispenser & Dropper Protection

- Redstone builds using dispensers
Important: This plugin does not break normal redstone.
It only limits boat placement from dispensers and droppers.
