LoomLimit
LoomLimit replaces the vanilla loom with a custom banner-designing menu that lifts the game's normal 6-layer cap. Server owners can configure how many layers banners are allowed to have, and the menu also includes a station for quickly duplicating a finished design.
What LoomLimit Does
- Gives banners a configurable maximum number of pattern layers, instead of vanilla's fixed limit of 6
- Provides a custom loom menu with a paged grid so you can browse every available pattern
- Shows a live preview of your banner as you add layers, before you commit to anything
- Charges 1 dye per layer, same as vanilla, taken only when you collect the finished banner
- Lets you duplicate an already designed banner onto a blank one, without redoing every layer by hand
How to Design a Banner
- Right-click a Loom block to open the custom menu
- Place a banner in the banner slot and a dye in the dye slot.
- Browse the pattern grid at the bottom and click a pattern to preview it on the banner.
- Click Confirm Layer to lock that pattern into the banner. This doesn't change your original banner item yet, it just adds the layer to the design shown in the output slot.
- Repeat steps 3–4 to keep adding layers, up to the server's configured maximum.
- When you're happy with the design, take the item from the output slot.
Use the arrows on either side of the pattern grid to page through all the available patterns, and check the info book in the middle for how many layers you've used out of the maximum.
Duplicating a Banner
- Place your finished, patterned banner in the template slot, it acts as the master copy and is never used up.
- Place a blank banner of the same color in the blank slot next to it.
- Click the Duplicate Banner button to receive an exact copy of the template. This uses up one blank banner per copy, keep adding blanks and clicking to make more.
The template banner stays in its slot the whole time, so you can keep duplicating as long as you have blanks to feed it.

Configuration
Server admins can adjust these settings in the plugin's config file:
| setting | Deafult | What it controls |

| gui-title | Custom Loom | The title shown at the top of the loom menu. |

After changing the config, run /loomlimit reload to apply the changes without restarting the server.
