UniversalAdmin

The first stable release: commands for everything, a report system, chat tools, staff notes, an in-game settings editor, network mode for Velocity and BungeeCord networks, a public extension API and the first official extensions. One jar runs on Paper 1.21.7 - 1.21.11 and 26.1.1 - 26.3. Upgrading from an alpha is automatic - see "Upgrading" below. (1.0.0 was never published on its own; everything planned for it is part of 1.1.0.)

Added

• Commands for every module under /admin (aliases /ua, /uadmin), with tab completion and a clickable /admin help. Optional top-level shortcuts such as /kick, /ban, /mute, /warn, /history, /vanish, /heal, /gm, /invsee, /broadcast, /maintenance, /lag (commands.shortcuts.enabled/disabled; /universaladmin:<label> always works). Full list: docs/user/commands.md.
  • Moderation: kick, ban/tempban/ipban (/ban Steve 7d griefing), mute/tempmute, warn/unwarn, freeze/unfreeze, unban/unmute, history, check, moderate, vanish, godmode, nocollision, staff [recover], notes.
  • Players: player, info (/seen), heal, feed, extinguish, fly, gamemode, speed, tp, tphere, invsee, endersee, clearinv.
  • Server: broadcast, server status/title/actionbar/shutdown/restart/cancel, maintenance on/off/allow/deny/list.
  • Worlds: worlds, world info/tp/time/weather/difficulty/setspawn/border/ gamerule. Whitelist: on/off/add (also players who never joined, with an optional duration)/remove/list. Performance: perf, entities [clear]. Audit: audit [player] [page]. Core: status, modules, reload, update.
• Reports module: /report <player> <reason> for everyone (cooldown and open-report limit), instant clickable staff notifications with a sound, a reminder on join, a reports GUI with claim/resolve/reject and teleports to the player or the report location, a "Reports" button on every profile, and a thank-you to the reporter. See docs/user/modules/reports.md.
• Chat module: staff chat (/sc, toggle mode, or a # prefix), chat lock, slow mode and clear chat - commands, GUI page, audited. See docs/user/modules/chat.md.
• Staff notes about players (profile button, /admin notes, a hint for staff when a player with notes joins).
• Team notifications: every punishment and pardon is announced to online staff with universaladmin.moderation.notify.
• Settings editor: every setting of the core, every module and every extension is editable in-game (/admin → Settings, /admin settings get|set|reset|list); changes are validated, written to config.yml with its comments intact, applied live where possible and audited. Sensitive values (database password) stay file-only.
• Extension API (universaladmin-api): extensions are ordinary Paper plugins with depend: [UniversalAdmin] that register modules through UniversalAdminProvider.get().extensions() - with commands, GUI pages, main-menu entries, profile buttons, audited actions, permissions, settings, translations, database migrations and audit/action listeners, all cleaned up automatically when the extension is disabled. Published with every release (binary, sources, javadoc). Developer guide: docs/extensions/getting-started.md.
• UniversalAdmin Discord - the first official extension: posts punishments, reports, restarts, maintenance and whitelist changes to a Discord channel via a webhook (docs/extensions/discord.md).
• Live inventory and ender chest editor: changes show up in both directions within a tick - what the player does appears in the editor, what staff change lands in the player's inventory. Laid out like the player's own screen (storage, hotbar, armor, offhand); one audit entry per editing session with the number of changed slots.
• Network mode for servers behind a Velocity or BungeeCord proxy that share one MySQL database (network.enabled): a Network menu with every server - also those without UniversalAdmin - and its players, /admin network, /admin find <player>, cross-server /admin tp and tphere (you land right next to the player), /admin send, /admin connect, network-wide /admin alert; bans, mutes, warnings, kicks and freezes take effect on every server at once; staff chat, staff notifications and report alerts across all servers, tagged with the server; one audit log for the network, every entry tagged with its server; commands find every player of the network. See docs/user/network.md.
• UniversalAdmin Velocity - an optional proxy plugin that turns banned players away at the proxy, before they reach any server (also servers without UniversalAdmin), with a configurable ban screen and /uavelocity. Published next to the plugin on GitHub and Modrinth.
• One jar for many Minecraft versions: Paper (and Purpur) 1.21.7 - 1.21.11 and 26.1.1 - 26.3, Java 21 or newer. Every listed version is compiled against and boot-tested; a weekly check tests new Paper versions and adds them to the newest release on Modrinth as soon as they pass (docs/user/installation.md).
• An example extension (examples/example-extension) as a template.
• Ready-made LuckPerms role templates (helper, moderator, admin) in docs/user/permissions.md.
• The main menu and module names are translated (menu.* keys).

Changed

• The shipped config.yml lists every setting of every module, with comments, grouped by module (moderation.vanish.*, server.countdown.*, players.gui.*, ...).
• The audit log shows player names instead of UUIDs in targets and summaries.
• Precise feedback everywhere: every command and every GUI button says exactly what it did - "Spawn of world set to 120 64 -30", "Banned Steve for 7d. Reason: griefing #42", "Removed 37 entities in world" - instead of "Done.", and command and GUI show the same text. Extensions get the same through ActionResult.success(value, key, args...).
• Every reply carries a short [UA] prefix (command.prefix, may be set to "") - in chat after a GUI click too.
• Staff mode tools work at range: aim at a player and right-click - the tool acts on the player the actionbar names, up to moderation.staffmode.target-range-blocks (now 128 blocks, through walls), not only on someone close enough to click directly.
• Menu item texts are consistently styled (white names, gray lore - no more purple italic lore lines).
• The update check and /admin update compare versions properly and never offer an older release.
• Releases on GitHub additionally carry the Discord extension, the Velocity plugin and the API jars; Modrinth versions are marked as release instead of alpha and list every supported Minecraft version.
• Built for Java 21 (was 25), so servers on 1.21.x run it too.
• Extensions: UniversalAdmin.network() (servers, players, messages between servers, moving players), the PlayerDirectory service (find a player by name or UUID network-wide) and CommandInvocation.withPlayer for commands that take any known player.

Fixed

• Settings of modules (vanish, freeze, staff mode, reports, ...) were only read from config.yml after an /admin reload; they now apply from the start.
• New texts added in an update showed up as [missing: ...] because the copied language files were never updated; the bundled texts are now the fallback for every key.
• A typo in a language file stopped the whole plugin from starting; the file is now skipped with an error in the log.
• Staff notifications (performance alerts, update notices, frozen-player disconnects) showed raw <yellow> tags instead of colours.
• Confirmation dialogs went back to the wrong page on "cancel", and a quick double click could confirm a dangerous action twice; GUI buttons now ignore double clicks.
• /admin update could "update" to an older version on a server running a newer build.
• The inventory editor did not show the player's own changes while it was open and could overwrite them with its outdated copy; it also wrote an audit entry for every single click.
• Punishing a player who was offline stored their UUID instead of their name in the history.
• The Freeze Tool could freeze and immediately unfreeze with one click.
• Several servers starting at the same time on a new MySQL database could run the same schema migration twice; migrations now run under a database lock, and a migration added later is applied even if newer ones already ran.
• Console commands sent over RCON got no reply.
• "Could not save lang/en_US.yml ... already exists" warnings on every start.

Security

• Text typed by players and staff (reasons, report texts, chat, notes, filters) can no longer inject MiniMessage formatting, hover or click events into messages other players see - every message argument is escaped (ADR 0012).
• Discord messages never ping anyone (allowed_mentions disabled), and the webhook URL is never logged.

Upgrading from 0.1.0-alpha

• Replace the jar and restart. config.yml is migrated automatically (config version 3): module settings move under their module's section and the new sections (commands, network, ...) are added. Nothing you set is lost or overwritten.
• New database tables (ua_reports, ua_player_notes) are created automatically.
• Your lang/*.yml files are kept; every text you did not change now comes from the plugin itself, so new texts appear automatically.
• New permissions to hand out: universaladmin.reports.*, universaladmin.chat.*, universaladmin.moderation.notes, universaladmin.moderation.notify, universaladmin.status, universaladmin.network.* - and universaladmin.reports.create is granted to everyone by default.
• Running a network? See docs/user/network.md.
