🎨 Give Your Lobby Its Own Identity

Build a consistent look across your lobby with MiniMessage, RGB colors, gradients, placeholders, and reusable text animations.

• Animated scoreboard with player information, rank, online count, and real ping.
• Custom TAB headers, footers, and player names.
• Overhead nametag prefixes and suffixes, synchronized with TAB or configured separately.
• Rotating bossbar texts, actionbars, join titles, and multiline announcements.

🧭 Create Your Own Navigation

Give players a configurable compass that opens your server selector.

• Customize menu titles, sizes, fillers, materials, names, and lore.
• Assign actions to open menus, run player or console commands, send messages, play sounds, teleport, or connect to proxy servers.
• Edit menu layouts directly in Minecraft with /alobby admin menu.
• Closing the editor saves a draft with clickable accept or reject controls.
• Existing button actions stay attached when moving or replacing their icons.

Menu actions, titles, sizes, and fillers remain configurable in menus.yml.

⚔️ Turn Your Lobby Into an Optional Arena

Players hold their assigned PvP item to begin a configurable activation countdown, with feedback in chat and actionbar.

• Only AuraLobby's assigned item activates PvP—not an ordinary sword.
• Configure the sword, activation delay, messages, and diamond or netherite equipment.
• Only active participants can fight each other.
• Combat tagging delays deactivation during a fight; flight and double jump pause while participating.
• Track wins, losses, current streak, and best streak with /pvpstats.

Statistics persist across restarts. Leaving PvP normally restores the player's previous armor and flight state.

✨ Make Every Arrival Feel Personal

Welcome players with a compact chat card featuring clickable buttons, hover text, player information, and your server's branding.

• Separate welcome messages for regular players, VIPs, and first-time visitors.
• Configurable titles, sounds, particles, and public join messages.
• Permission-based arrival profiles, including elevated VIP spawning with flight.
• Community link commands: /discord, /store, and /web.

Players can open /preferences to control player visibility, announcements, scoreboard, bossbar, actionbar, and plugin sounds. Preferences are saved across restarts.

💬 Keep Players Connected

Customize public chat formatting with player-name hover information and click-to-message suggestions.

• Private messages with /msg, /tell, /whisper, or /w.
• Quick replies with /reply or /r.
• Optional staff monitoring with /socialspy.
• Configurable message formats, cooldowns, feedback, and notification sounds.

SocialSpy observes AuraLobby's local private messages, not conversations handled by other plugins or servers.

🛡️ Protect and Manage Your Lobby

Choose your managed worlds, configure per-world settings, and create internal regions without requiring WorldGuard.

• Configure block breaking, placement, damage, hunger, drops, pickups, mobs, explosions, fire, and void protection.
• Use /build for an explicit, permission-controlled construction bypass.
• Add double jump, gold pressure-plate launch pads, and knockback launchers.
• Manage spawn, flight, speed, and game modes with customizable feedback.
• Use the admin panel to manage modules, spawn, regions, and configuration diagnostics.

⚙️ Configure What You Need

Enable or disable individual modules and organize your setup through four editable YAML files: config.yml, messages.yml, menus.yml, and modules.yml.

Optional integrations: PlaceholderAPI for installed expansions, LuckPerms for primary-group formats, and Vault for compatible economy integrations. AuraLobby also works without them. Text supports MiniMessage and & color codes; visual refreshes and welcome particles can scale down under load.
