Vigil

Vigil

Staff mode that never loses an inventory.

Requires Paper or Folia (not plain Spigot) · 1.21.4 → 26.3 · No required dependencies · English & Spanish per player · Bedrock-friendly

What the others don't do

▌ Crash-proof inventories

The inventory is written to disk
before the tools are handed out. Kill the server mid-duty and the moderator gets every item, XP point and effect back on join.

▌ One screen per player

Inventory, ping, client, location, playtime, notes, history — and
every other account on the same address, marked if it's banned.

▌ Punishment ladders, on your ban plugin

You set what happens the 1st, 2nd and 3rd time for each reason. Staff pick the reason; Vigil runs LiteBans, AdvancedBan or EssentialsX for them. Your history and appeals stay where they are.

▌ Reports with evidence

Each report saves where the player was, their ping and their last chat lines. Reports about the same player are grouped; one click claims it and takes you there unseen. The reporter is told how it ended — even if they were offline.

▌ Configure it in-game

/staff admin edits
config.yml and keeps every comment. No reload.

Tested

Every feature is tested by bots on a live server (Paper 1.21.4, 1.21.11, Folia and MariaDB) and checked by hand in the game client before each release.

Free, no obfuscation, no license checks. The plugin sends nothing about your players.
