About this project

What does Fiw Admin Utilities add?

Fiw Admin Tools

Maintenance, moderation, performance, and server-presence tools in one lightweight server-side mod. Players can join with vanilla clients.

What it does

  • Maintenance: persistent lockout, custom MOTD/kick screen, bypasses, kick-on-enable, and scheduled countdowns.
  • Performance: timed and threshold sweeps, mob caps, TPS history, worst-chunk reports, clickable staff actions, and optional Discord alerts.
  • Moderation: packet-based vanish, whois, persistent freeze+ (reason, auto-unfreeze, evidence, teleport), inventory/ender-chest item search, and timed item bans.
  • Punishment: kick, temp/permanent ban and mute, per-player history, and an admin-editable escalation ladder.
  • Reports and AFK: player-facing /report with staff notification, and configurable AFK tagging/auto-kick.
  • Watchdog: alerts on server hangs (heartbeat timeout) and unclean shutdowns (crash/kill detected on next boot).
  • Dupe detection: heuristic rate and item-signature detectors, alert-only by default, with an optional admin-configurable auto-freeze/kick/ban escalation per detector.
  • Presence: custom join/leave messages, rotating MOTDs, announcements, and first-join alerts.
  • Configuration: independent JSON settings per module with live /fiw reload.

All tools live under the /fiw command tree. LuckPerms is supported, with loader permissions and vanilla operator level 3 as fallbacks.
