AuraServerQoL

AuraServerQoL

AuraServerQoL is a lightweight, server-side Paper plugin designed to bring essential Quality-of-Life (QoL) features and smooth mechanics to your Minecraft server—without requiring your players to install any client-side mods!

🌟 What Does AuraServerQoL Do?

• Dynamic Lighting for all: (/auralights) Activated by the player holding a light source such as a torch/lantern/glowstone/etc. in their mainhand or off-hand. Normally a feature that is limited to those clients with loaded shaders or client-side mods. We change that requirement allowing anyone that joins your server to enjoy the feature. Light brightness is equivalent to the held item's light output vanilla value.

• Auto Tool Replacement: (/auratoolbreak) Automatically swaps broken tools with a fresh matching tool or sword from the player's inventory or hotbar so mining, farming, and combat remain seamless.

• Boat Jumping & Auto-Hurdling: Improved boat navigation! Automatic Hurdling makes navigating the waters a lot easier. Boats will pull themselves over obstacles like ice/shore banks/lilypads. Additionally, players can manually launch boats over 1-block obstacles by pressing the Swap Hands Key (F). Tunable settings in the config file.

• Portable Item Disposal: Open a safe item disposal window by right-clicking on a Lava Bucket, allowing players to permanently purge unwanted junk items from their inventories without dropping items on the ground.

• Automatic Crop Replanting: When players right click to harvest crops, the crop is automatically replanted if the player has the seed/crop necessary to replant in their inventory.

• Mob Shields: Admins can create Mob Shields allowing for safe areas that mobs are not allowed to enter. Fully customizable in size, location, naming, and entity whitelisting. Use the command to disable/enable, add/delete, specific shields. Whitelisting entities can be set globally and each shield can have it's own optional whitelist to allow specific mobs access (in addition to the primary global whitelist)

🚀 Why Download AuraServerQoL?

• 100% Vanilla Client Compatible: Deliver popular modded-style features to your players without forcing players to install Fabric, Forge, or client mods. Bridging the gap for console players or players that just don't know how to install mods.
• Fully Configurable: Every module can be toggled or tuned inside config.yml. Don't want boat jumping or dynamic lighting on your server? Simply switch them to false!
• Optimized for Paper: Built asynchronously and thread-safe from the ground up to prevent tick lag, or server performance dips.
