Sponsors. [1.21.0 - 26.1]

SPONSORS — Invite Players, Build Trust, Keep Control!

Welcome to Sponsors, the ultimate whitelist management plugin for community‑driven servers! This plugin transforms how players join your world — instead of admins manually adding names, trusted members can sponsor new players through a sleek, interactive GUI. This is perfect for new SMP's, especially if you want a good server.

Why Sponsors? Because your server deserves growth with accountability. Sponsors lets players vouch for others, manage their beneficiaries, and revoke access instantly — all without touching console commands or config files.

✨ How It Works Players use /sponsor to open the main menu, where they can:

• ➕ Add a Beneficiary — enter a username, accept the rules, confirm sponsorship
  
  
• View Beneficiaries — see who they’ve sponsored and cancel sponsorships anytime
  
  
• See Their Sponsor — displayed right in the center of the screen

When a sponsorship is confirmed, the player is whitelisted and added to the sponsor’s list. Canceling a sponsorship instantly kicks and unwhitelists the player — clean, fair, and automatic.

️ Admin Control Admins can use /sponsorstart to whitelist themselves and enable whitelist mode. This command requires operator (OP) privileges and no other permissions.

Permissions

• sponsors.sponsor — allows players to sponsor others and access the GUI
  
  
• /sponsorstart — OP‑only, no permission node required

Perfect For

• Private or semi‑private servers
  
  
• Community‑based whitelists
  
  
• Roleplay or survival worlds that value trust and moderation

Sponsors is simple, powerful, and built for servers that want to grow — without losing control.
