Elements: Nexus

Elements: Nexus

Elements: Nexus is a server-side essentials all-in-one mod. Nexus covers ranks, the tab list, chat, homes, kits, moderation and more. It fixes a lot of issues that, in my opinion, had either never been addressed or updated, despite their options being available in the config files.

In this mod, I have added a Master Control File. Every feature and subcommand has its own on/off switch in config/elements_nexus/features.toml. A feature that is switched off doesn't load at all.

Features

• Ranks & permissions: groups, inheritance, prefixes and nexus.* nodes. Nexus registers as the NeoForge permission handler, so other mods see your ranks. Ranks can also give number values to other mods (node=value, e.g. claim limits). Rank-ups can run commands on promotion.
• Tab list: rank tags, nametags, sorting, a header and footer, and an AFK marker.
• Side panel: shows name, rank, balance (coin mods are detected, one coin per line) and claim location, with custom styles per claim or dimension. The name follows the rank color, or the title color when one is on.
• Chat: format, filter, mentions and links, plus /msg, /r, /ignore, social spy and staff chat. Supports a {title} placeholder and title chat colors from title mods.
• Show items in chat: type [item] to show the item in your hand, or shift + right-click an item in your inventory to show it off. Hover it in chat to see the full tooltip.
• Travel: homes with per-rank limits, warps, spawn, back, teleport requests and staff teleports, with warmup and a combat lock. Homes can be blocked in chosen worlds, and elytra gliding can be stopped in chosen worlds.
• Ender Dragon respawn: the dragon respawns on its own a set time after it dies, using the vanilla respawn.
• Waystone rules: per-dimension control over placing, activating and teleporting with waystones. Chosen types, like warp plates, can be let through.
• Entity limits: per-chunk caps for pets, passive mobs, monsters and villagers (breeding, spawn eggs and spawners stop at the cap), and for placed armor stands, item frames, paintings, minecarts, boats and any entity or tag you add. Off by default.
• Kits: one-time and cooldown kits.
• AFK: automatic AFK detection.
• Player toggles: /pvp lets players opt out of PvP (only damage is blocked, so riding and other right-clicks still work), with a server-wide switch for staff. /phantoms turns phantom spawning on or off per player.
• Moderation: warn, mute, kick, ban, tempban, IP ban, freeze and jail, plus inventory view/edit, history and a rolling staff log. Vanish hides staff everywhere.
• Messages: nicknames, /rules, /vote, /help (lists only the commands a player can use), /broadcast, announcements, /restartwarn, and join, leave, first-join and MOTD messages. Links in any of them are clickable (https://... or [Text](https://...)).
• Holograms: vanilla text displays with lines, animation, scale and facing options.
• Discord bridge: event feed, two-way chat, staff chat, /link, rank-to-role sync and a status channel that shows the player count.
• Migration: imports from NeoEssentials, FTB Ranks, FTB Essentials, LuckPerms and TAB, with a preview before anything is written.
• Storage: JSON (default), YAML, SQLite or MySQL. Switch between them with /nexus storage convert. SQLite and MySQL need their driver jar in elements_nexus/drivers.
• Overlap guard: turns off Nexus features that another installed mod already provides.

Install

1. Drop elements_nexus-<version>.jar into the server's mods/ folder.
2. Start the server once to generate config/elements_nexus/.
3. In config/neoforge-server.toml, set permissionHandler = "elements_nexus:permissions".
4. Restart the server.

Step 3 is needed for the rank permissions to work.

Updating to 1.0.2 on SQLite or MySQL

Put the driver jar (sqlite-jdbc or mariadb-java-client) in <server>/elements_nexus/drivers before updating, or the server won't start.
