ModeSwitcher

ModeSwitcher is a high-performance inventory and state isolation utility built for modern Minecraft servers. It allows players to effortlessly toggle between their regular survival state (Live Mode) and a separate editing environment (Test Mode). When switching, the plugin securely serializes and backs up their entire inventory, armor, active potion effects, health, food, experience, and Vault economy balance into separate profiles, ensuring zero data loss.

Features

• Complete State Isolation: Instantly isolate a player's inventory, status, and balance between Live and Test states.
• Secure Base64 Serialization: Encodes complex items, custom NBT data, and active potion effects into clean text formats inside YAML data files.
• Vault Economy Integration: Automatically resets and restores player cash balances dynamically when changing modes to prevent economy exploits.
• Automated Background Backups: Includes a built-in scheduler that automatically forces a silent state save for all online players at configurable intervals.
• Fluent Tab Completion: Native command suggestions that dynamically guide users through available switching profiles.
• Robust Persistence: All profiles are securely written directly to the hard drive on server shutdowns or plug-in reloads, eliminating data rollbacks.
