Alpha-system

AlphaStudio's core Minecraft plugin — moderation, economy, teleportation, chat, and server management in one package, built to replace CMI and EssentialsX for the commands it covers.

Start here if this is your first time on this wiki, or jump straight to Commands if you already know what you're looking for.

Requirements & soft-dependencies

Alpha-system runs standalone with zero extra plugins — every soft-dependency below only unlocks extra behavior when present, nothing is required.

Plugin	Required?	Unlocks
—	Always	Everything else: punishments, chat, economy (self-registers as the Vault provider), warps, spawn, time/weather, GUIs.
`Vault`	Optional	Lets other plugins (shops, etc.) read/write Alpha-system's own economy through the standard Vault API.
`PlaceholderAPI`	Optional	Registers `%alphasystem_*%` placeholders, and pulls `%luckperms_prefix/suffix%` into chat formatting.
`packetevents`	Optional	Full-fidelity unsigned-chat message deletion (private messages and other plugins' output survive a redraw). Falls back gracefully without it.

Alpha-system also declares loadbefore: [CMI, Essentials, EssentialsX] — if any of those are installed alongside it, load order won't cause command conflicts for the commands both provide.

Quick start

Drop the jar in plugins/ and start the server once to generate the default config files.
Open plugins/Alpha-system/config.yml — set server-name, review the features: toggles, and set database.type (stick with sqlite unless you're running a multi-server network).
If you want cross-server punishment/maintenance sync, switch database.type to mysql and fill in database.mysql.* — see Integrations → Network sync.
Customize plugins/Alpha-system/lang/messages.yml and lang/deathmessages.yml to taste — both reload with /as reload, no restart needed.
Run /as diagnostics in-game to confirm the database, Vault, PlaceholderAPI, and any configured webhooks are actually wired up correctly.
