Scripted SMP Helper

ScriptedSMPHelper Recording Mode

Paper 1.21 plugin features for controlled recording sessions.

Commands

• /recording start turns recording mode on.
• /recording stop turns recording mode off.
• /recording toggle switches the current mode.
• /recording status shows the current mode and bypass count.
• /recording bypass <player> [on|off|toggle] manages a persistent player bypass.
• /recording bypasslist shows configured bypass names.
• /recording freeze <player> [allowLooking:true|false] freezes a player. When allowLooking is true, they can still rotate their camera.
• /recording unfreeze <player> unfreezes a player.
• /recording border center <x> <y> <z> sets the recording border center.
• /recording border set <radius> sets the recording border radius.
• /recording border active <true|false> also toggles the border.
• /border active <true|false> toggles the border active state.
• /recording reload reloads config.yml and data.yml.
• /recordingreload also reloads config.yml and data.yml.

Players need ScriptedSMPHelper.recording.admin for the command. Operators have this by default.

Default Behavior

When recording mode is on:

• Chat messages are blocked.
• Blocks can only be broken if they are listed in recording.block-breaking.allowed-materials.
• Blocks can only be placed if they are listed in recording.block-placing.allowed-materials.
• Ender chests, all shulker boxes, water, and lava bucket placement are allowed by default.
• Armor lock can optionally prevent equipping or removing armor.
• Death punishment can play a configurable sound, then kick or ban the dead player.
• PvP is enabled by default.

When recording mode is off:

• Recording restrictions are disabled.
• PvP is disabled by default.

Operators bypass recording restrictions automatically. You can also give a player the ScriptedSMPHelper.recording.bypass permission, or add them with /recording bypass <player>. Death punishment ignores those bypasses. Bypassed attackers can PvP outside recordings even while normal outside-recording PvP is disabled. Bypassed players can wander outside the recording border; non-bypass players are held inside the radius.

If death punishment is set to BAN, the player is banned only for the active recording session. /recording stop automatically unbans players that were banned by this plugin during that session.

Files

• config.yml controls all toggles, allowed materials, bypass behavior, messages, armor lock, and PvP behavior.
• data.yml is created automatically and stores the current recording state and bypass list.

Use Bukkit/Paper material names in config, such as COBWEB, OAK_WOOD, WATER_BUCKET, and LAVA_BUCKET.
