Staff mode that never loses an inventory.

Paper or Folia · 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.

Also included

• Vanish without ProtocolLib — tab, server count, name completion, fake join/quit, mobs, plates, sculk

• Staff channel, chat lock / slow / clear
• Mining, command-spy and banned-alt alerts, toggled per person

Set up in a minute

1. Drop the jar in plugins/ and start the server.
2. Give each staff group one permission: vigil.role.helper, vigil.role.mod or vigil.role.admin.
3. Type /staff.

Every command is listed in-game with /staff help, filtered by permission.
