📸 RimCamera — Surveillance Camera System for Your Server!
RimCamera is a powerful and user-friendly plugin that allows you to create an interactive surveillance camera system on your server. Players can interact with special blocks to "connect" to cameras and observe what's happening in different parts of the world.
✨ Features
-
Multi-Group System — create separate camera groups for different locations or game modes.
-
Simple Navigation — intuitive inventory-based interface: switch cameras, flip through pages, exit camera mode.
-
Anti-Grief Protection — while in camera mode, players cannot move, take damage, pick up items, or interact with the world.
-
Flexible Permissions:
rimcam.admin — place/destroy camera blocks, create and delete cameras.
rimcam.use — use cameras (enabled for everyone by default).
- Automatic Data Saving — all cameras and blocks are saved to YAML files and loaded on server startup.
🎮 How It Works
-
Admin places a camera block (/rimcam startgroup or /rimcam start).
-
Right-clicks the block with an empty hand to enter setup mode.
-
Uses /rimcam create <name> <number> <group> to create cameras at desired locations.
-
Regular player finds the camera block, right-clicks it with an empty hand, and enters observation mode where they can:
-
Select cameras from the list (up to 7 per page).
-
Flip through pages if there are more than 7 cameras.
-
Exit the mode at any time.
🛠 Commands
/rimcam list [group] - List all cameras or cameras from a specific group
/rimcam start - Get a camera block for group 1
/rimcam startgroup [number] - Get a camera block for a specified (or new) group
/rimcam create <name> <number> <group> - Create a camera at your current location
/rimcam removecam <number> - Delete a camera by its number
📦 Installation
Download RimCamera-1.0.0.jar.
Place it in your server's plugins folder.
Restart your server (or run reload).
Configure permissions using your permission system (e.g., LuckPerms).
Done! Use /rimcam start to begin.
❓ FAQ
Can regular players create cameras?
No, only players with the rimcam.admin permission can create cameras.
What happens if a player leaves the server while in camera mode?
The session will be properly terminated, and the player will be teleported back to their entry point upon rejoin.
Does this plugin work with other mod loaders?
The plugin is built for Paper and is compatible with pure servers using the Bukkit API.
Does the plugin support multiple worlds?
Yes! Cameras can be placed in any world, and players will be teleported between worlds seamlessly.
