I have a newly created server which is private and I'm getting overwhelmed with all the plugins out there. I'm running a 1.17.1 Paper MC server and basically I just want to prevent players taking items from other players or destroying their creations. Is there a simple way to do this? I don't really need a lot of options at least for now. I think it will be easier to grow into that later.
Hello all,
I have a newly created server which is private and I'm getting overwhelmed with all the plugins out there. I'm running a 1.17.1 Paper MC server and basically I just want to prevent players taking items from other players or destroying their creations. Is there a simple way to do this? I don't really need a lot of options at least for now. I think it will be easier to grow into that later.
Thanks!
To add some more commands like /home etc. use
EssentialsX: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/essentialsx.9089/
Extract the zip and add:
EssentialsX.jar
EssentialsXChat.jar
to your plugins-folder
To protect player-chests, use LWCX:
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/lwc-extended.69551/
If a player places a chest, it automatically gets locked - so only the creator have access to it
With commands like
the chest-owner can give access to other players
With Worldguard and Worldedit you can create regions:
https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/worldedit
https://intellectualsites.github.io/download/fawe.html
So you can create user properties and add players to this region - so only this player can build/destroy block inside this region
You also can add/remove other players
For an easier way to handle this, use PlotSquared:
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/plotsquared-v4-v6-out-now.1177/updates
or
Towny:
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/towny-advanced.72694/
If you don't want to give every player op permissions then you have to work with a permissions plugin
Use PermissionsEx (easy to handle) or LuckPerms
https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/releases
https://luckperms.net/
With these, you can create Ranks and give players plugin-related permissions inside a rank
For all Plugins there are documentations for setting it up, commands and permissions
Also check for youtube tutorial videos
All plugins are working on 1.17 (some of these are still tagged as 1.16 plugin or older)
