What you get

One plugin that replaces the usual pile of essentials, moderation, chat and economy plugins.

Punishments

Ban, tempban, IP ban, mute, warn with automatic escalation, and jail. Full history per player, cross-server broadcast and a Discord webhook.

Commands

Economy

Registers as the Vault provider, so no separate economy plugin is needed. Pay, baltop, transaction history with rollback, and safe balance handling.

Commands

Chat

Owns the chat format with LuckPerms prefixes, staff channels, a delete button that works on offline-mode servers, and a configurable filter.

Commands

Player settings

A /settings menu to mute private messages or public chat, ignore players, refuse payments and confirm large ones.

Player settings

Combat tag

Blocks escape commands, teleports, flight and ender pearls during a fight, and punishes logging out in combat.

Server systems

Safe teleports and respawn

Spawn, warps, back and respawn land on safe ground, with warmups you can cancel by moving and a configurable respawn priority.

Server systems

Staff tools

Vanish, inventory and ender chest editing with an audit trail, freeze, alt detection, whois, reports, social spy and maintenance mode.

Commands

Network sync

Share punishments, alerts and maintenance across servers with one MySQL database.

Integrations

Nameplates

Multi-line labels above players with health, ping and rank placeholders, and custom text shadows.

Server systems

Quick start

Five steps to a working server.

Install and start. Drop the jar in plugins/ and start the server. A new server stays disabled until AlphaStudio approves it, see Server approval.
Open config.yml. Set server-name, review the features: toggles, and keep database.type on sqlite unless you run a network.
Network? Switch database.type to mysql and fill in database.mysql.*. See Network sync.
Set your spawns. /setspawn for the server spawn, /spawnpointset for first-time joiners and /setrespawn for a custom respawn point.
Check it. Run /as diagnostics to confirm the database, Vault, PlaceholderAPI and webhooks are wired up.
