I really like the config options that are added by the mod, such as disabling enchanting and potion brewing, so heres an idea for some more that would be very useful on some servers (like mine). Most of the problems that these would fix i have experienced on my server, but mine cannot possibly be the only one to have these problems.


 * option to disable the creation of Nether Portals. -  this would work the same way as disabling morgul and elven portals. This way on servers where the overworld is banned, if the spawn is in Middle Earth and the ring portal is broken, no one can get to the overworld. (I have had problems with players somehow making nether portals in middle earth to get back to the overworld. I didnt think nether portals could be built in ME, since i cant, but they somehow were made.)


 * Option to Force Friendly fire - Map locations can be forces to be shown or hidden, and the same should go for Friendly Fire. There are problems (once again, cant be just on mine) where players join a faction, become trusted by the ruler, then turn friendly fire off and betray their faction by killing everything in the builds. Just having it be a rule to keep friendly fire off doesnt work, and banning for it is too harsh, so better to just prevent it altogether.


 * Option to disable Orc Bombs, TnT, and termites - Having players griefing things with explosives can be VERY irritating, so its another thing that would be easier to disable altogether than make rules against.


 * Force Hide/Show alignment - Just a small thing that would make some things easier. There are too many cases of players hiding their alignment and saying theyre allied with a faction when they are really enemies.


 * Option to disable draughts - Another one that would make things a little more fair for everyone. It gets annoying having players use draughts and brews that give strength in a fair fight where their enemy only has weaker armor. I have problems with players always using athelas and mithril against players that only have bronze or iron strenght gear. (technically potion effects are like enchants, and borderline cheating.)


 * Option to disable the crafting of mithril equipment - I know this is possible as theres an option to disable the crafting of diamond equipment. Mithril is equal to diamond, and technically not lore friendly, since Bilbo's shirt was the only piece mentioned, aside from the Minas Tirith tower guard helms.

Since these would be configs, they would all be optional so server owners can decide what can and cannot be, so they can customize them better. (I know the comments will probably be filled with "youre asking to remove Mithril! No!", no, im not. Its just optional so players dont have to be punished for using mithril on servers that dont allow it. Prevention instead of punishment.)
