ItemMagnet — Tiered Item Magnets, Redstone Fuel, Claim Protection

Pull dropped loot toward you with magnets that feel physical — items slide around corners and stop at walls. Charge them with redstone, respect Lands and WorldGuard claims, filter what you collect, and tune everything from an admin GUI or config.yml.

[HEADING=2]Why ItemMagnet?[/HEADING]
Most magnet plugins teleport items through blocks or ignore land claims. ItemMagnet is built for survival SMPs that care about fairness and polish:

• Visible physics — step-based pull with line-of-sight; no phasing through walls
• Claim-aware — Lands, WorldGuard, Towny, GriefPrevention, Residence, PlotSquared, SuperiorSkyblock2
• Smart filters — server + personal blacklists, Minecraft tag rules, tier whitelists, presets with preview/confirm
• Redstone fuel loop — dust and blocks recharge the magnet; blocks trigger a radius boost
• Admin-friendly — /itemmagnet config GUI, presets, hot reload, LuckPerms-ready permissions, audit log
• Production storage — player filters in YAML, SQLite, or MySQL

[HEADING=2]Gameplay[/HEADING]

• Three tiers — Fragment, Survey, Anchor (materials, names, radius, drain, recipes all configurable)
• Hold modes — main hand, hotbar, or anywhere in inventory
• XP orb pulling at the same radius (optional)
• Sneak + right-click fuel (either hand) or auto-absorb redstone drops
• Power surge from redstone blocks — charge + temporary radius boost
• Live item lore — charge, boost timer, and current pull radius
• Vertical reach — pull items above/below you within tier radius

[HEADING=2]Filters[/HEADING]

• Server material + tag blacklist — config and admin GUI (Materials | Tags views)
• Personal filter GUI — /itemmagnet filter with server rules read-only at the top
• Built-in presets — mining, farming, mob-drops, keep-valuables with merge preview/confirm
• /itemmagnet filter clear — wipe personal rules; /itemmagnet import for bulk merge
• Player filter storage — YAML (default), SQLite, or MySQL with one-time YAML migration

[HEADING=2]For server owners[/HEADING]

• /itemmagnet config — in-game editor for settings, tiers, fuel, integrations, item filter, and proximity lore
• Server presets — theryn, skyblock, vanilla-survival, hub-spawn, testing, or custom
• Anti-AFK movement check with one-time notify
• Unlock gates — permission, advancement, CMI stat/rank, LuckPerms group, mcMMO skill, Quests, or admin command
• Update checker — console banner on boot, clickable in-game download link for admins

[HEADING=2]Integrations (all optional)[/HEADING]
Lands, WorldGuard, Towny, GriefPrevention, Residence, PlotSquared, SuperiorSkyblock2, CMI, LuckPerms, mcMMO, Quests, PlaceholderAPI. Developer API included.

[HEADING=2]Quick start[/HEADING]

1. Download ItemMagnet-1.6.6.jar from GitHub Releases
2. Place the JAR in your server's plugins/ folder and restart
3. Give yourself a magnet: /itemmagnet give YourName fragment 500
4. Hold the magnet; put redstone dust in your other hand; sneak + right-click to fuel
5. Drop items nearby — they pull toward you with visible motion

[HEADING=2]Privacy & external services[/HEADING]
ItemMagnet is transparent about outbound network usage. Server owners can disable or limit each feature in config.yml.

[HEADING=3]bStats (optional telemetry)[/HEADING]
When is true, ItemMagnet sends anonymous aggregate statistics to bStats — the standard metrics service used by many Paper plugins. Reports include config toggles (integrations enabled, hold mode, filter storage backend, tier count, etc.) and session-level blocked-pull reason totals. No player names, UUIDs, locations, or chat are sent. Disable with or globally in .

[HEADING=3]Update checker (optional)[/HEADING]
When is not , ItemMagnet makes a read-only HTTPS request to the GitHub Releases API to compare your installed version against the latest tag. Requests run asynchronously with 5-second connect/read timeouts, send only a plugin version in the User-Agent, and parse only the release tag. Update messages appear in the server console and to players with (default: op). Disable with .

[HEADING=3]Security practices[/HEADING]

• Permission-gated commands — admin, give, config, import, and debug require explicit permissions
• Granular config GUI access — optional
  Code (Text):

  itemmagnet.config.*
  nodes; help/tab completion filtered by permission
• Claim & region respect — optional protection hooks; bypass permissions default to false
• Fair pull physics — line-of-sight movement; no teleport-through-blocks
• Config audit log — admin changes logged to
  Code (Text):

  plugins/ItemMagnet/config-audit.log
• SQL filter storage — parameterized queries for SQLite/MySQL backends
• Optional integrations only — soft dependencies; runs standalone on Paper
