The block drops as an item, the helmet loses durability, and a small impact effect is played using in-game particles and block break sounds.<\/p>\n<p>No client-side mod is required.<\/p>\n<p>## Features<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Breaks falling `SAND`, `RED_SAND`, and `GRAVEL` on contact with a chainmail helmet<br \/>\n&#8211; Drops the broken block as an item instead of placing it in the world<br \/>\n&#8211; Damages the helmet using normal Minecraft durability behavior<br \/>\n&#8211; Plays `falling_dust` particles and the matching block break sound<br \/>\n&#8211; Supports permission-based control through standard Bukkit permission nodes<br \/>\n&#8211; Works with permission managers such as LuckPerms without requiring a direct dependency<\/p>\n<p>## How It Works<\/p>\n<p>If a falling supported block collides with the helmet area of a player wearing a chainmail helmet:<\/p>\n<p>1. The falling block is removed before it can place normally<br \/>\n2. The corresponding block item is dropped<br \/>\n3. The helmet loses durability<br \/>\n4. Visual and sound effects are played at the impact point<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration<\/p>\n<p>The plugin creates a `config.yml` file automatically on first startup.<\/p>\n<p>Default config:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`yml<br \/>\nenabled: true<\/p>\n<p>debug:<br \/>\n  enabled: false<\/p>\n<p>durability-cost: 1<\/p>\n<p>supported-materials:<br \/>\n  &#8211; SAND<br \/>\n  &#8211; RED_SAND<br \/>\n  &#8211; GRAVEL<\/p>\n<p>permissions:<br \/>\n  use: chainmailsieve.use<br \/>\n  bypass: chainmailsieve.bypass<br \/>\n  admin: chainmailsieve.admin<\/p>\n<p>effects:<br \/>\n  particles:<br \/>\n    enabled: true<br \/>\n    count: 18<br \/>\n    offset: 0.18<br \/>\n    extra: 0.0<br \/>\n  sound:<br \/>\n    enabled: true<br \/>\n    volume: 1.0<br \/>\n    pitch: 1.0<\/p>\n<p>messages:<br \/>\n  reloaded: &#8220;&#038;aChainmailSieve config reloaded.&#8221;<br \/>\n  no-permission: &#8220;&#038;cYou do not have permission to use this command.&#8221;<br \/>\n  usage: &#8220;&#038;eUsage: \/chainmailsieve reload&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>### Config Options<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; `enabled`: Enables or disables the entire mechanic<br \/>\n&#8211; `debug.enabled`: Enables debug logging for troubleshooting<br \/>\n&#8211; `durability-cost`: How much durability is consumed per impact<br \/>\n&#8211; `supported-materials`: List of falling block types that can be broken by the helmet<br \/>\n&#8211; `permissions.*`: Permission nodes used by the plugin<br \/>\n&#8211; `effects.particles.*`: Controls the `falling_dust` impact effect<br \/>\n&#8211; `effects.sound.*`: Controls the block break sound effect<br \/>\n&#8211; `messages.*`: Messages used by the reload command<\/p>\n<p>## Commands<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; `\/chainmailsieve reload`<br \/>\n&#8211; Alias: `\/cms reload`<\/p>\n<p>Reloads the plugin configuration without restarting the server.<\/p>\n<p>## Permissions<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; `chainmailsieve.use`<br \/>\n  Allows the mechanic for a player.

Default: `op`<\/p>\n<p>## LuckPerms<\/p>\n<p>ChainmailSieve uses normal Bukkit permission nodes, so it works with LuckPerms out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`text<br \/>\n\/lp user Steve permission set chainmailsieve.use true<br \/>\n\/lp user Steve permission set chainmailsieve.bypass false<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>## Compatibility<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Minecraft: `1.21.11`<br \/>\n&#8211; Server software: `Paper`<br \/>\n&#8211; Likely compatible with modern Paper forks such as `Purpur` and `Pufferfish`, but officially developed and tested for Paper<br \/>\n&#8211; Not designed for `Spigot`, `CraftBukkit`, or `Folia`<br \/>\n&#8211; Java: `21+`<\/p>\n<p>## Installation<\/p>\n<p>1.

Use `\/chainmailsieve reload` after changing the config<\/p>\n<p>## Notes<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The mechanic only works when the player is actually wearing a chainmail helmet<br \/>\n&#8211; Players with the bypass permission are ignored by the mechanic<br \/>\n&#8211; If you are using a permission plugin, make sure `chainmailsieve.bypass` is not granted by mistake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChainmailSieve is a lightweight Paper plugin that gives chainmail helmets a special survival mechanic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38313,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"chainmailsieve","_minecraft_project_id":"dlHTATzg","_minecraft_author":"MKultra6969","_minecraft_license":"GPL-3.0-only","_minecraft_downloads":11,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"chainmailsieve.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":62282,"_minecraft_version_count":2,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T23:05:49.348794Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-03-12T20:48:44.740390Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-13T05:58:39.585081Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/chainmailsieve","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":38313,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T19:45:43+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"8781e3b4b0352cd015b022c87a507499","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[88,89,127,128],"mod_loader":[132,133],"minecraft_version":[62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-38312","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-equipment","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
