Piggy Admin
A server-side administration mod designed to help manage and enforce settings for compatible client-side mods (like Piggy Build and Piggy Inventory). Currently, it serves as a central point for managing anti-cheat options, logging, and detection, but it will evolve to include more administration tools.

Features
🛡️ Anti-Cheat Enforcement
- Centralized Control: Configure whether "cheat" features (like fast placement, tool swapping) are allowed on your server.
- Automatic Sync: When a player joins, the server's anti-cheat configuration is automatically sent to their client.
- Strict Enforcement: If the server disables cheats, client-side overrides are ignored, ensuring fair play.
- Granular Control: Enable/disable specific features individually (e.g., allow tool swapping but forbid fast placement).
🕵️ Advanced X-Ray Detection
Piggy Admin uses a multi-layered heuristic engine to detect suspicious mining patterns without false positives from branch mining.
- Ore Cache Manager: Asynchronously tracks valuable ore locations in an efficient
ConcurrentHashMap, minimizing main-thread impact. - Vector Correlation: Uses
HeuristicsMathUtilto calculate the mathematical correlation between a player's look vector and the distance to invisible ores. - Hybrid Detector: Combines raw mining ratios with semantic analysis of "suspicious turns" and "direct-to-ore" paths.
- Sensitivity Levels: From
LOW(relaxed) toPARANOID(strict), configurable viaxraySensitivity. - Admin Alerts: Real-time notifications for admins with clickable teleport links to the suspect's coordinates.
📜 Forensic Data & Attribution
The mod acts as a powerful investigation tool for griefing.
- Explosion Attribution: Tracks the true owner of TNT, even if sparked by a flint-and-steel, fire charge, or other entities.
- Creeper Ownership: Identifies players who intentionally ignite creepers (using Flint & Steel) to destroy territory.
- Lava & Fire Blame: Specialized trackers for fluid flow and block-fire spread. Even if the original source block is gone, the mod maintains a history of who placed it.
- Dispenser Tracking: Custom mixins at the dispenser level attributes all dispensed projectiles or bucket operations to the player who placed or last interacted with the dispenser.
- Interactive Notifications:
AdminNotifiersends rich, hoverable chat components to OPs, allowing for instant "Blame Lookup" directly from an alert.
📜 Moderation Engine
- AI-Powered Moderation: Integrates with Google Gemini AI to automatically filter toxic or inappropriate chat and sign text.
- Dynamic Rule System: Define custom moderation rules and categories (e.g., Profanity, Harassment, Hate Speech).
- Performance Optimized: Includes a high-performance cache and rate-limiting system to minimize API latency and handle free-tier API limits gracefully.
- Hybrid Checking: Combines fast local Regex checks with deep semantic analysis from Gemini.
- Categorized Logs: All blocked messages are logged with their specific category for easy review.
🤖 Gemini AI Setup
To use the AI moderation features, you need a Google Gemini API Key.
- Get an API Key: Visit the Google AI Studio and create a free API key.
- Configure the Mod:
- Start the server once to generate the config file.
- Open
config/piggy-admin-server.json. - Paste your key into the
"geminiApiKey"field. - Set
"moderationEnabled": true.
- Advanced Options:
geminiModel: defaults togemini-1.5-flash(recommended for speed and cost).geminiSystemPrompt: You can customize the AI's "personality" and strictness here.
[!NOTE] The free tier of Gemini has rate limits (approx. 15 requests per minute). The mod includes a built-in cache and rate-limiter to handle these limits gracefully without lagging the server.
📜 History & Logging
- Sign History: Tracks who placed a sign and what was written on it.
- Chat History: Logs all chat messages for administrative review.
- Explosion Logging: Detailed logs for TNT placement, ignition, and explosions, including player attribution whenever possible.
- Blame Tool: Inspect existing signs/blocks to see who interacted with them and when.
- Persistent Storage: History survives server restarts (saved to
config/piggy-admin-history.json).

All commands require OP level 2 or higher.
