✨ SMP Essentials

SMP Essentials is a powerful all-in-one Minecraft Paper plugin made for server owners who want full control over their SMP without needing tons of separate plugins. It gives you clean GUI menus, configurable gameplay restrictions, SMP start tools, PvP protection, world border systems, item limits, cooldowns, enchant controls, and end-game event tools in one polished package.

✅ Built For SMP Servers

SMP Essentials is designed to help owners create a balanced, fair, and easy-to-manage SMP experience.

Whether you are starting a private SMP, public survival server, event SMP, lifesteal-style server, or competitive end-game SMP, this plugin gives you the tools to control the most important gameplay rules directly from config or in-game GUI.

🖥️ Premium In-Game GUI

Use:

/smp menu

to open the main SMP Essentials control panel.

The GUI includes:

• ✅ Clean 54-slot layout
• ✅ Glass pane styling
• ✅ No italic item names or lore
• ✅ Clear status indicators
• ✅ Green/red toggle states
• ✅ Confirmation menus for dangerous actions
• ✅ Fast admin control without editing files every time

You can toggle major SMP rules directly in-game.

🚫 Item Restrictions

SMP Essentials can block common overpowered SMP items and gear.

You can toggle:

• 🛡️ Netherite armor
• ⚔️ Netherite tools
• 🔨 Mace usage and crafting
• 🪽 Elytra usage
• 💀 Totems of Undying
• 🟣 Ender pearls
• 🛡️ Shields
• 🚧 Custom blocked items

Blocked items can be prevented from:

• being used
• being equipped
• being picked up
• being moved in inventories
• being stored in bundles/shulkers
• being used from offhand
• being used by dispensers
• staying in player inventories

Strict protection can automatically remove blocked items from players.

🧰 Recipe Blocking

You can block crafting outputs by material.

Examples:

/smp blockrecipe MACE
/smp blockrecipe ELYTRA
/smp unblockrecipe MACE

The plugin blocks:

• crafting table results
• crafter block recipes
• smithing results
• stonecutter-style result taking
• furnace-like smelting results
• inventory result exploits

This helps prevent players from bypassing restrictions through automation.

✨ Enchant Controls

SMP Essentials lets you block enchantments from a specific level upward.

Examples:

/smp blockenchant SHARPNESS 5
/smp blockenchant PROTECTION 4
/smp unblockenchant SHARPNESS

This means:

• Sharpness IV can still be allowed
• Sharpness V can be blocked
• Protection III can still be allowed
• Protection IV can be blocked

Blocked enchant levels are downgraded or prevented from:

• existing player inventories
• enchanted books
• bundles
• shulkers
• anvil results
• enchantment table offers
• picked-up items

Perfect for SMPs that want strong gear progression without letting players become unkillable.

⏱️ Item Limits And Cooldowns

You can set global item limits and cooldowns.

Examples:

/smp limit ENDER_PEARL 16
/smp cooldown ENDER_PEARL 10
/smp limit TOTEM_OF_UNDYING 1

Useful for balancing:

• ender pearls
• golden apples
• totems
• potions
• bows
• any other material

Limits also check inside bundles and shulkers.

🚀 SMP Ready System

Use:

/smp ready

to prepare your SMP before launch.

It can:

• find a safe spawn location
• avoid unsafe areas
• avoid water-heavy ready zones
• teleport all online players
• set the world border to a small ready size
• heal players
• feed players
• clear potion effects
• set players to survival
• disable PvP before launch

Default ready border size:

16 blocks

This is perfect for organized SMP openings.

🟢 SMP Start System

Use:

/smp start

to officially start the SMP.

It can:

• smoothly expand the world border
• enable PvP after a protection timer
• show a bossbar countdown
• give starter items
• broadcast launch messages

Default settings:

Ready border: 16
Final border: 5000
Expansion time: 300 seconds
PvP protection: 120 seconds

The border uses vanilla smooth animation for a clean launch experience.

🟥 End Event System

Use:

/smp end

to start the final border event.

The end event can:

• shrink the border over time
• show bossbar progress
• show actionbar updates
• search for a low-water final arena
• shrink in phases

Example phased shrink:

100 → 80 → 60 → 40 → 20

You can also stop the active end border event:

/smp end stop

This freezes the current border size and cancels the event task.

🌍 Nether And End Access Control

SMP Essentials can control access to dimensions.

You can enable or disable:

• Nether portals
• End portals

The protection covers multiple bypass cases, including:

• normal portal entry
• ender pearl portal tricks
• boats entering portals
• minecarts entering portals
• teleport attempts into disabled dimensions

This is useful for servers that want to unlock dimensions later in the season.

🧭 Border Commands

Admins can control the world border directly:

/smp border set <size>
/smp border center <x> <z>
/smp border expand <size> <seconds>
/smp border shrink <size> <seconds>

Great for events, SMP launches, world progression, and final fights.
