Simple Admin Hacks
Landing spot for fixes, tuning, micro game modifications that have no other home.
This is tweak central.
Brought to you by DevotedMC, we're taking a pretty inclusive and permissive view for this plugin; if you need a particular "hack" to get things working in your use case, send us a PR for inclusion, we'd love to host it.
This plugin is designed from the ground up to support easy creation of "microplugins" -- things with featuresets too small to make sense for a full sized plugin, or fixes for game problems or simple heuristic loggers.
Making a new "Hack" is always an option, but take a look at this list of active Hacks and see if your contribution might fit with an existing module.
##Active Hacks
###BadBoyWatch
This hack keeps track of who breaks what, and what they broke to get there. I've got bigger plans for more heuristics but for now, that's it. Please, feel free to improve on this.
###CTAnnounce
An integration into CombatTagPlus, this announces to in-game operators when combat is under way. Invaluable when you like your admins to monitor in-game fights.
###Experimental
This is a catch-all for anything micro that has no other home. Useful features like
/serialize command live here too, but mostly its logging trackers that are great
for debugging edge cases and useless for normal runtime.
###GameFeatures
The principle focus here is on enabling and disabling game features, like elytra or skulker boxes or those sorts of things. Try to keep the focus on boolean or otherwise simple on / off or discrete state options that relate to existing Minecraft game mechanics.
###GameFixes
Sometimes things in Minecraft just... don't work. Or don't work the way you want them to. Put those fixes here.
###GameTuning
Similar to Game Fixes, but distinct in that the intent here is on hacks that tune or alter existing mechanics without fully disabling them or without fixing them. Things like altering armor damage reduction or tool impact would be good fits.
###HackBot
An experimental module whose complexity is approaching divorce from SAH, this is a bit of mid-work code that allows operators to define static Bots that show up like "real" players but aren't.
###Introbook
Allows the creation of customizeable, helpful first join books that are distributed to players when they first join the server. Safe to turn off but super useful if you have a core set of additional "good to know" information or introductory material you'd like players to receive.
###InvControl
Host of the /invsee command, gives insight into active player inventory, armor,
health and more. I hope / intend to add another portion to this that allows online
and offline inventory management via /invmod but this is as of now not started.
###InvisibleFix and InvisibleFixTwo
My hope is to remove these in time, but for 1.9 and 1.10 minecraft players go invisible all the time. Both of these hacks use different approaches to help preserve the visiblity of players. The second hack is the more invasive, sending explicit location packets when the situation indicates its usefulness.
###NewfriendAssist
A new join tracker, that also doubles as an introkit delivery mechanism.
It also exposes the introkit command you can use to send specific people a new
introkit if they lost theirs.
###ReinforcedChestBreak
Another useful alerting hack, sends a message to online operators when players are actively breaking reinforced containers.
###SanityHack
This one is pretty Devoted iteration 3 specific. Allows tracking server wide of all breaks or builds under a specific y level.
Conclusion
There is room for many more hacks and the list grows regularly. The pattern is simple; check any of the existing hacks for details by example.
