VanillaTeams

VanillaTeams

A lightweight vanilla-friendly team plugin for Paper and Purpur servers.

No /team home, no warps, and no virtual team chests. Just basic teams, team chat, alliances, and vote-based friendly fire.

Supported server software

Paper	Purpur	Spigot

Features

Vanilla-friendly gameplay

Keeps survival simple and fair. No team homes, teleport commands, warps, or virtual team storage.

Friendly fire voting

Friendly fire is enabled by default. Any team member can start a vote using /team pvp on or /team pvp off. Online members can vote using clickable [Yes] and [No] buttons.

Friendly fire protection

Team damage is handled at the lowest event priority, allowing VanillaTeams to cancel friendly fire before other plugins process the damage event.

Private team and ally chat

• /tc <message> — Send a private team message.
• /tc — Toggle team chat mode.
• /ac <message> — Send a private ally message.
• /ac — Toggle ally chat mode.

DiscordSRV support

Team and ally messages stay private and are not sent to public DiscordSRV channels.

Team alliances

Each team can have one allied team. Send an alliance request using /team ally <team> and accept or deny it using clickable buttons.

SQLite database

Teams, leaders, members, and usernames are saved automatically in database.db, preserving team data across server restarts.
