UniversalAdmin

The free, all-in-one admin plugin for Paper. Everything your staff team needs - moderation, reports, staff mode, player tools, worlds, maintenance, performance and a complete audit log - in clean in-game menus and commands. No dependencies, no premium version, open source.

✨ Highlights

• One menu for everything - type /admin and click through players, moderation, reports, chat, server, worlds, whitelist, performance, audit log and settings.
• Commands too - /ban Steve 7d griefing, /mute, /warn, /history, /vanish, /invsee, /heal, /gm ... with tab completion. Already use EssentialsX? Turn off any shortcut you want to keep there.
• Every action is logged - who banned whom, who changed which gamerule, who opened whose inventory. Searchable in-game.
• Fine-grained permissions - give helpers kick and mute, but not ban. LuckPerms role templates included.
• Safe - confirmations for dangerous actions, no double clicks, player input can't inject formatting, an invalid config never crashes the server.
• No dependencies - SQLite out of the box, MySQL/MariaDB optional.
• English & German - every text editable.

🛡️ Moderation

Kick, ban, temp-ban, IP-ban, mute, temp-mute, warn and freeze - with reason and duration presets, a step-by-step GUI wizard, full history (/history), current status (/checkban) and team notifications for every punishment. Staff notes let your team leave private notes about players.

📣 Reports

Players type /report <player> <reason>; staff get an instant, clickable alert. The reports GUI shows open reports - claim, resolve or reject them, teleport to the player or to where the report was made. Built-in spam protection.

🕵️ Staff tools

Vanish, godmode, no-collision and a staff mode with its own toolbar: player inspector, freeze stick, live inventory & ender chest inspectors, teleport picker - and your own inventory comes back even after a crash. Staff chat with /sc or a # in front of your message.

👤 Players

Browse online and offline players, search, open profiles with play time and location, heal, feed, fly, gamemode, speed, effects, teleports - and edit inventories and ender chests live.

🌍 Server & worlds

Dashboard, broadcasts (chat, title, action bar), maintenance mode with an allow-list, shutdown/restart with countdown. Per-world time, weather, difficulty, spawn, world border and a full gamerule editor. Chat lock, slow mode and clear chat.

📋 Whitelist

Reasons, notes and temporary access that expires by itself - also for players who have never joined.

📈 Performance

TPS, MSPT and memory at a glance (/lag), per-world stats, an entity overview and staff alerts. The entity clear never touches players, villagers, item frames or other protected entities - always with preview and confirmation.

⚙️ Settings in-game

Change any setting from a menu - validated, applied right away, saved to config.yml with your comments intact.

🧩 Extensions

Other plugins can add modules to UniversalAdmin: commands, menu pages, profile buttons, settings, database tables - all audited and permissioned like the built-ins. Official: UniversalAdmin Discord posts bans, mutes, reports and restarts to your Discord channel (download from the GitHub release). Developers: see the extension guide.

📊 Anonymous statistics

UniversalAdmin sends a small anonymous heartbeat every 30 minutes so we know how many servers use it: a random installation id, the UniversalAdmin, Minecraft and Java version, and the online/maximum player count. Never sent: IPs, server names, player names or UUIDs, chat, commands, world data, other plugins or hardware identifiers. The id is random and derived from nothing. Turn it off with telemetry.enabled: false in config.yml - then no request is made at all. Exactly what is sent.
