EmptyNet is a Paper plugin that allows players to transfer between servers using commands. No dependencies required - works entirely on its own using Paper's built-in transfer API.
## Features
- **Self-standing** - No BungeeCord, Velocity, or any other proxy required
- **Unlimited servers** - Add as many server entries as you want in the config
- **Custom commands** - Each server gets its own command (e.g., `/lobby`, `/survival`)
- **Server listing** - `/server` lists all available servers
- **Server back** - `/serverback` returns to the last server you connected to
- **Custom messages** - Configure the message shown when connecting to each server
- **Tab completion** - Auto-completes server names in `/server` command
## Requirements
- Paper 1.21.1 or higher
- Java 21 or higher
- Make sure ```accepts-transfers=true``` is set to true in the server.properties
## Installation
1. Download the `EmptyNet-1.0.0.jar` from the releases page
2. Place the jar file in your server's `plugins/` folder
3. Restart your server
4. Edit the `plugins/EmptyNet/config.yml` to configure your servers
5. Restart your server or use `/reload` to apply changes
## Configuration
Edit `plugins/EmptyNet/config.yml`:
```yaml
# EmptyNet Configuration
# Add as many servers as you want by copying and pasting the section below.
# Change the name, command, ip, and message to match your server's details.
# Time in seconds to wait for a player to successfully connect to the target server.
# If the player does not connect within this time, they will be notified that the
# connection failed and can try again. Set to 0 to disable. Time is measured in seconds. Default is 120 seconds.
timeout: 120
servers:
example:
# The display name shown to players
name: "Example Server"
# The command name (e.g., /example)
command: "example"
# The server IP and port to connect to
ip: "127.0.0.1:25566"
# The message shown to the player when connecting
message: "&aConnecting to Example Server..."
```
### Config Fields
| Field | Description | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| `name` | Display name shown in /server list | `"Survival Server"` |
| `command` | The command players use (e.g., /survival) | `"survival"` |
| `ip` | Server IP address and port | `"192.168.1.10:25566"` |
| `message` | Message shown when connecting (use & for color codes) | `"&aConnecting..."` |
## Commands
| Command | Description | Permission |
|---------|-------------|------------|
| `/server` | Lists all available servers | `emptynet.use` |
| `/server ` | Connect to a specific server | `emptynet.use` |
| `/serverback` | Return to your last server | `emptynet.use` |
| `/` | Direct command for each configured server | `emptynet.use` |
### Examples
- `/server` - Shows a list of all configured servers
- `/server lobby` - Connects to the "lobby" server
- `/lobby` - Same as above (if configured with command: "lobby")
- `/serverback` - Returns to the server you were on before
## Permissions
| Permission | Description | Default |
|------------|-------------|---------|
| `emptynet.use` | Allows using /server and /serverback commands | `true` (all players) |
| `emptynet.admin` | Reserved for future admin commands | `op` |
## How It Works
This plugin uses Paper's built-in `Player#transfer(String host, int port)` API to transfer players directly to another server. No proxy or external dependencies are needed - the plugin handles everything internally.
When a player uses `/server ` or a direct command like `/lobby`, the plugin:
1. Looks up the server configuration
2. Stores the target server as the "last server" for `/serverback`
3. Sends the configured message to the player
4. Transfers the player to the target IP:port
