MineCourt

MineCourt is a lightweight court system plugin for Paper servers. Players can submit court cases against other players, while administrators can appoint a judge and close cases.

Features

• Submit a court case with a player name and reason.
• Notify every online player when a case is submitted.
• Send the appointed judge an additional notification containing the reason.
• Notify the defendant that they must appear in court within 3–5 minutes.
• Browse all open cases, including plaintiff, defendant, reason, and submission date.
• Appoint a judge.
• Close and remove cases from the list.
• Persist the judge and all open cases across server restarts.

/court and /суд are identical command aliases.

Available values are RU and EN. On first launch, MineCourt creates RU.yml and EN.yml in its plugin folder. Edit the selected language file to customise any player-facing message. Restart the server after changing the language or messages.

Installation

1. Download MineCourt.jar from the Modrinth release or GitHub Actions artifact.
2. Place it in your Paper server's plugins folder.
3. Start or restart the server.
4. Appoint a judge with /court setjudge <player>.

Data storage

MineCourt stores the appointed judge and open court cases in:

plugins/MineCourt/config.yml

Players specified in create or setjudge must be online or have joined the server at least once.

Building from source
