Crafters Development

Professional moderation and administration plugins for Minecraft servers, developed by xUnknowns. Built for production environments — reliable, configurable, and network-ready.

CraftersStaff v12.0.0 Stable Spigot / Paper 1.16–1.21.5 Java 17+
● ACTIVE — v12.0.0

CraftersStaff

An advanced, all-in-one staff management and moderation suite for Spigot and Paper servers. CraftersStaff centralizes the full moderation workflow — staff mode, vanish, freeze, notes, reports, inspection tools, staff chat, web panel and more — into a single cohesive system with deep network support for Velocity and BungeeCord.

Key Features

Everything your staff team needs, built into one plugin.

🛡️
Staff Mode
Dedicated mode with inventory save/restore, staff tools, optional flight and vanish integration. State persists across reconnects.
👁️
Vanish System
Full invisibility including tab list removal. Staff can still moderate while completely hidden from regular players.
❄️
Freeze & FreezerChat
Lock suspicious players in place with a private chat channel between staff and the frozen target for calm investigations.
📋
Notes System
Attach structured notes to players with statuses (PENDING, IN_PROGRESS), attention requests and admin override support.
📊
Reports Manager
Players submit reports via command. Staff review them through a powerful GUI with filter, inspect, freeze and teleport actions.
🌐
Web Panel
Modern Cloudflare Pages frontend with dashboard, staff editor and management. Real-time sync via HTTP and unique session links.
🔗
Network Support
Full Velocity and BungeeCord support. Staff mode syncs across servers, broadcasts propagate network-wide via proxy channels.
📈
PlaceholderAPI
Official cstaff expansion with Staff Mode status, Vanish state, per-server and network-wide staff counters.
🌍
Multilingual
Ships with 10 languages including EN, ES, PT, DE, FR, RU, NL and IT. Non-destructive config merge keeps translations safe on updates.

Configuration

All configuration files are located in plugins/CraftersStaff/. The plugin uses a non-destructive merge system — updates never overwrite your custom values.

config.yml
Main settings: language, database, Staff Mode behavior, TPS alerts, Discord webhooks, proxy flags.
lang/message_xx.yml
Localization files for all messages. Supports EN, ES, PT, DE, FR, RU, NL, IT and more.
menus/*.yml
GUI definitions for every menu. Control sizes, items, icons, names, lores and click actions.
commands.yml
Rename or add aliases to any command. A server restart is required for name changes to apply.
proxy-config.yml
Generated automatically in proxy environments. Controls messaging channels and network behavior.
When updating the plugin, always reload with /cs reload after the server starts. New config keys are merged automatically.

Network Setup

CraftersStaff supports Velocity, BungeeCord and Waterfall as proxy platforms. Install the plugin on each backend server — no separate proxy JAR is needed.

Staff Mode state is automatically synchronized through the proxy. Active staff retain their mode when switching between servers.
State Synchronization
Staff Mode, vanish state and source server name are persisted across the entire network via shared MySQL storage.
Network Broadcasts
Staff chat, freeze notifications, mining alerts and TPS alerts are broadcast network-wide through the proxy channel.
PlaceholderAPI Network
Access proxy-wide staff counts and per-server staff counts via the cstaff expansion.
