Warden

WARDEN The clan system prison servers were missing.

Warden is a clan/gang plugin built specifically for prison and survival-op servers — not a reskinned factions plugin. Every feature is designed around how prison servers actually play: ranks, mines, prestige, token economies, and players who care about progression over territory.

FEATURES

• Clan core — create, invite, join requests, roles, kick, transfer leadership, clan home with cooldown, tag colors, open/closed access.
• Configurable role hierarchy — rename any role, add tiers, and set a full internal permission matrix per role in YAML. Nothing hardcoded.
• Clan bank — shared Vault balance, per-level limits, full transaction log, deposit/withdraw permissions per role.
• Clan wars — declare, accept, configurable duration and victory conditions, war rewards paid into the clan bank, war history.
• Clan chat — private channel plus configurable chat and tablist prefixes.
• Progression — clan levels with a configurable XP curve and perks.
• Leaderboards — by level, bank, wars won or kills, in GUI and chat.
• Alliances & rivalries — with configurable friendly fire behaviour.
• GUIs — every title, item and slot editable from gui.yml.
• PlaceholderAPI — clan name, tag, level, XP, bank, role, member count, leaderboard positions and war state.

BUILT TO BE CONFIGURED

• Remappable commands — don't want /clan? Use /gang, /syndicate, or anything else, with multiple aliases. Every subcommand is remappable too, and permission nodes stay stable regardless of the word you pick.
• Multi-language — English and Spanish included, per-player language with client auto-detection and a configurable fallback. No text is hardcoded.
• MiniMessage formatting — full modern colour and gradient support.
• Storage your way — YAML by default, SQLite or MySQL by config.

PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

Soft dependencies only. Warden runs on Paper alone and every integration degrades cleanly if the plugin isn't there: Vault, LuckPerms, PlaceholderAPI, and optional bridges for PulsePrison and AtomCombat.

If another plugin already owns /clan, Warden takes the command back on startup — no namespace prefix needed.

DEVELOPER API

Internal event layer for integrations: WardenClanCreateEvent, WardenClanDisbandEvent, WardenMemberJoinEvent, WardenMemberLeaveEvent, WardenWarDeclaredEvent, WardenWarEndEvent, WardenLevelUpEvent.
