About this project

What does Player Backup add?

/playerbackup restore

Restore last backup of another player

/playerbackup restore <name>

Commands

Backup

The backup commands are set up to be as convenient as possible. The base command /playerbackup backup will create a backup of the current player. If the amout of current backups of that player exeed the deleteOnRestore-config the oldest backup is deleted. To backup another player you may extend the command with the players name: /playerbackup backup Absolem90.

Restore

The restoration commands are setup analogously to the backup. By starting with /playerbackup restore you will restore your own latest backup. By extending the command with a player name you are able to restore the latest backup of that player onto that player: /playerbackup restore Absolem90. You cannot apply the backup to someone other than the original player. By extending the command even further you may select the backup to restore. You will get suggestions of available backups: /playerbackup restore Absolem90 21_08_23_190324. The backup is name after the timestamp it was created on. The format is yy_MM_dd_kkmmss. for reference

Configuration

The configuration file will be created at config/playerbackup.json. The following Properties are configurable:

name type default value description
backupCountPerPlayer integer 5 This count sets the allowed amount of backups per player.

If the amount is reached the oldest backup is removed. If the value is <= 0 the limitation is disabled.
deleteOnRestore booelean true If the flag is set to true a backup is deleted, once it is restored. So the restoration can only be done once.

Permissions

The config/playerbackup.json also configures the access level for the four commands. Each Permission consists of the name, its id, a description and permission level. By setting the permission level you may choose the enable the commands to other players. The valid options are:

Level Player OP
ALL true true
OP false true
NONE false false
permission command default
selfRestore /playerbackup restore OP
restore /playerbackup restore <name> OP
selfBackup /playerbackup backup ALL
backup /playerbackup backup <name> OP
