AlphaTools
Time-limited power tools for Paper and Folia. A 3x3 drill, a tree chopper, never-empty buckets, a rocket and a jump feather, handed out by staff for a set time.

What you get
Power tools that work for a set time. Staff hand them out, players use them, and when the clock runs out they vanish.
Titan Drill and Terra Shovel
Break a 3x3 area of stone and ores, or of dirt, sand and gravel, with a single swing.
Mining toolsTimber Axe
Fell a whole connected tree at once, up to 256 logs.
Timber AxeBuckets that never empty
Lava and water buckets that stay full, and three drain buckets that stay empty.
BucketsRocket and Jump Feather
An endless elytra boost and a high jump from the ground.
MovementHarvest Hoe
Harvest a 5x5 patch of crops in one break.
Harvest HoeTimed by design
Every tool carries a real-time expiry, shown in its lore. Blocked worlds and WorldGuard regions keep tools out of places.
Time and protectionQuick start
The shipped config already defines eleven tools.
- Install. Put the jar in
plugins/and start the server. A new server stays disabled until AlphaStudio approves it, see Server approval. - Give a tool. Run
/atools give <player> titan-drill 1h. The player needs a free inventory slot. - Protect spawn. The shipped config blocks a WorldGuard region named
spawn. Add your own regions and worlds, see Protection. - Reload.
/atools reloadapplies config edits.
