GameModeControl

A powerful lightweight plugin that helps you organizing game modes on your server.

Download GameModeControl for your server version:

for 1.7 and below: use this version
for 1.8 and above: use the latest version

Information

This plugin uses an auto updater, to keep itself up-to-date. You can disable this in your config by changing

options.auto-update

to false.
This plugin uses plugin metrics to analyze the servers using GMC. The collected data will be sent to bstats.org and can be viewed here. Everyone is able to see anonymous data, such as how many servers are using GMC, but not which servers. You can disable this feature in your config by changing

options.bstats

to false.

Commands

Help:

<> = required
[] = optional
1 | 2 = 1 or 2, but not both
gmc.<permission> = permission to change your own and the gamemode of other players
gmc.<permission>.self = you are only allowed to change your own gamemode
gmc.<permission>.others = you have the permission to change the gamemode of other players

Command	Function	Permission
/gm <id> [player] /gamemode* <id> [player]	Change the gamemode of a player to the specified one	gmc.gamemode[.self \| .others]

Restart your server, then stop it
Edit the 'config.yml' and set the messages you want
Start your server and enjoy

Configuration

If you want to reset the config, just delete the 'config.yml' file (in <your server folder>/plugins/GMC/). GMC will generate it on server startup. If you need an example, take a look at this example configuration.

Hi, I'm trying to use the plugin on a 1.16.5 server, but as soon as the server starts, it disables it with this "warning":

I dropped the jar file into the plugins folder, but no folder or config file was created after restarting the server. What could be the reason for this? I'm running Paper 1.16.4.

Hi there!

First of all, thanks for reporting issues! There is one problem with this particular one: I can't seem to open the link you provided, it just shows a blank screen.

What plugins do you use to provide warps, portals and teleportation to other worlds? Only if I know which plugins you used am I able to incorporate them into GMC.

You can contact me through your desired communication medium if you want to: ricardoboss.de. Just tell me you came from here.

Can you add an option to disable messages in the config by putting none in the quotations? Ex:

creative: self: '&aSet your game mode to &6&ocreative&a.' from: 'none' to: '&aSet the game mode of &7$player &ato &6&ocreative&a.'

Hi there! I think I don't really understand what are proposing right there... Do you want players in gamemode 1 to be unable to attack players in other game modes? I will add it to the suggested features when I understood :)

Just give the players NOT the permission gmc.gm3. That should work. If you want them to be able to do /gm0,/gm1 and /gm2 give them gmc.gm0, gmc.gm1 and gmc.gm2.
