Plugin Ideas

Plugin ideas!

Feel free to make some of these! Ones which have been done reasonably well will be crossed out and linked to!

Utility

• permission manager
• bedrock server support (like Geyser)
• discord server link - is that not part of auto-message a bit lower down?
• core-protect clone (anti grief + logging + rollback capabilities)
• essentialsx knockoff (bunch of useful commands)
• warp points / teleportation plugin
• colored roles/chat
• anti-cheat / anti-xray
• realistic tree chopping
• multi-world support
• single player sleep
• auto messages (like send motd, customize player join messages, etc...)
• auto-backups
• macros
• aliases - you could do normal bash-style aliases, but consider something like the abbr command in the fish shell if it is sent from the cli
• GUI for managing the server, maybe a web UI?
• password based login (good for offline servers)
• chat filter (anti-spam, anti-toxicity)
• large scale world editing (like world edit)
• java edition plugin APIs, like Bukkit (Bukkit git) or Sponge API
• punishments (banning/tempbanning/muting/kicking/reporting?/jail world?)
• a packet level vanish plugin that just removes all mentions of a player from outgoing packets, unless the reciever has permission to "see" them.
• Discord bot plugin that runs a bot per server instance, allowing people to edit server stuff on the fly.

Fun(ish)

• trampolines
• towny
• minigames
• gameboy emulator
• death swap
• chairs (sit on stairs)
• particle trails
• custom armor + weapons
• mob/player head drop
• forge compatibility?

Misc

• markdown for the mc chat
• brainfuck interpreter + evaluation commands
• scratch but for PyMine
• fabric compatibility?
• a decent resource pack manager? maybe a gui for the client?
• two-factor authentication
  - Totp/hotp -> in-game, using maps + qr codes
  - Email -> external, click link sent in email enter code shown ingame, or enter code sent in email
  - Uf2/webauthn/fido2 -> external helper webserver + website, redirects
  - SMS API,
  - Discord, DM users

Put your ideas below, and they'll be added to the main comment!

Setting debug to true in the server.yml enables packet logging.

I should have checked more closely, Ty.
Edit: logging to what, file? That might be useful
