Recent Minecraft Java updates have closed several string and tripwire duplication tricks that farms and players used for years. If your world just lost that supply, SlashString is a fair replacement: one command, and you set how much string they get and how often, with no exploits involved.
What does it do?
- Players type
/stringand receive a stack of string (the item used for bows, wool, tripwires, and lots of crafts). - You choose how many they get and how long they must wait before using the command again.
- If their inventory is full, you can choose whether extra string falls on the ground or is thrown away.
There is no permission plugin setup: everyone who can use commands on your server can use /string, unless you block the command yourself in your host’s files.
Installation
- Download the plugin .jar from this project’s files page.
- Put the jar in your server’s
pluginsfolder. - Restart the server (or load the plugin the way you usually do).
You need a Paper (or Paper-style) Minecraft server. The plugin is built for recent 1.21 releases; if your server version does not match, ask your host or check the project’s version tags before installing.
Commands
| Command | Who can use it? |
|---|---|
/string |
Players in the world. They get string according to your settings. |
/string reload |
The server console always works. Players must be a server operator (opped) to reload. |
Reloading applies changes from your config and message files without restarting the whole server.
Settings (config.yml)
After the first start, open:
plugins/SlashString/config.yml
| Setting | What it means |
|---|---|
| amount | How many string items one use of /string gives (at least 1). |
| cooldown-seconds | How many seconds a player must wait before /string works again. Use 0 for no cooldown. |
| drop-if-full | true: if the inventory is full, extra string drops at their feet. false: extra string does not drop (it is removed). |
Edit the file, then run /string reload from the console (or in-game if you are opped).
Messages (messages.yml)
Text the plugin sends (cooldown warnings, “you received string”, reload success, and so on) lives in:
plugins/SlashString/messages.yml
You can change the wording and colors. Colors use the usual & codes (for example &a green, &c red, &e yellow, &7 gray). Placeholders like {amount} are filled in automatically. Keep those spelled exactly as in the default file.
After editing, use /string reload so players see the new text right away.
