ServerSystem

A comprehensive Minecraft server management plugin for Paper servers, providing essential administrative, moderation, and utility commands.

In short, this is an alternative to plugins like Essentials.

Why?

While Essentials is a fine plugin, more options and competition is always a good thing.
This plugin also aims to be much more customizable and (mostly) be a drop-in solution.

Features

• Administrative Tools: Gamemode management, teleportation, time/weather control
• Economy System: Balance management, payments, economy administration (requires Vault)
• Moderation Tools: Ban/mute system, command spy, vanish, clear chat
• Utility Tools: Repair tools, trash can, heal, feed
• Player Utilities: Homes, warps, kits, mobile workbench access
• Teleportation System: TPA requests, back command, spawn management
• Communication: Private messaging, team chat, broadcast system
• Clickable Signs: Interactive signs for various functions
• Multi-language Support: Per-User language support, defaulting to player's locale (English, German and Slovene only)

Requirements

• Minecraft Version: 1.21+
• Server Software: Paper (or Paper-based forks)
• Java Version: 21+
• Optional Dependencies:
  • Vault (Provides a universal Economy API for other plugins to use)
  • NBTAPI (For loading/saving offline player data)

Installation

1. Download the latest ServerSystem JAR file
2. Place it in your server's plugins folder
3. Restart your server
4. Configure the plugin using the generated configuration files
5. Reload or restart the server to apply changes

Configuration

The plugin generates several configuration files:

• config.yml - Contains configuration for sections that are either too small or too generic
• commands.yml - Command settings and aliases
• permissions.yml - Permission definitions
• economy.yml - Economy related settings
• moderation.yml Moderation (Ban/Mute) related settings
• messages/ - Language files for different locales

Permissions

ServerSystem groups permissions into the following main categories:

• serversystem.admin.* - Full administrative access
• serversystem.moderation.* - Moderation tools
• serversystem.support.* - Support/helper permissions
• serversystem.command.* - Basic command permissions

Most permissions suitable for everyday player usage are already given by default.
This means that players can use these commands out of the box (e.g. /home)
You can set any permission to (not) be required inside the permissions.yml file.

Permission Levels

• Admin: Full server control (gamemode, time, weather, economy, etc.)
• Moderation: Player management (ban, mute, vanish, etc.)
• Support: Helper tools (teleport, heal, god mode, etc.)
• Player: Basic commands (homes, warps, messaging, etc.)

Special Permissions

• serversystem.homes.unlimited - Unlimited homes
• serversystem.homes.<number> - Specific home limit
• serversystem.chat.colored - Use color codes in chat
• serversystem.command.teleportask.instant - Instant teleport without delay

Clickable Signs

The plugin supports interactive signs for various functions:

• Give Signs: Give items to players
• Kit Signs: Provide kits to players
• Time Signs: Change server time
• Weather Signs: Change server weather
• Warp Signs: Teleport to warps

Each sign type has create/destroy permissions for administrators.

Data Migration

While Pre-Rewrite (2.x.x) ServerSystem supported migrating from or to Essentials, 3.x.x, as of 18. July 2025, does not.
The reason for this is simple. I just didn't get to it before I deemed the plugin Release-Ready.

PlaceholderAPI

This plugin has support for PlaceholderAPI. You can use it's placeholders in ServerSystem's messages or use the ones ServerSystem adds:

• %serversystem_onlineplayers% -> Shows the online player count, excluding vanished players, if the target cannot see vanished players
• %serversystem_balance% (%serversystem_balance_<playername>%) -> Shows the formatted balance for a player
• %serversystem_unformattedbalance% (%serversystem_unformattedbalance_<playername>%) -> Shows the unformatted balance for a player
• %serversystem_baltop_name_<number>% -> Shows the name of place in baltop (1 - 10 only!)
• %serversystem_baltop_balance_<number>% -> Shows the formatted balance of place in baltop (1 - 10 only!)
• %serversystem_baltop_unformattedsbalance_<number>% -> Shows the unformatted balance of place in baltop (1 - 10 only!)

Auto Updates

As a user, you can disable Auto-Updates via the config.yml.

If you are a server hoster or just want to use JVM Flags, you can do the same like this: java -Dserversystem.disable-auto-download=true -jar server.jar
