Elements: Nexus

Elements: Nexus 1.0.3

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 hand 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: name, rank, balance and claim location, with custom styles per claim or dimension. The name follows the rank color, or the title color when one is on.
  • Balance comes from an economy mod that works through Elements: Vault (such as Elements: Economy) or from auto-detected coin mods.
  • Each currency can go on its own line, lined up under the first. Colors and layout are set in sidepanel.toml and apply on save, no restart.
  • Claim location from Elements: Claims, OPAC or FTB Chunks.
• Chat: format, filter, mentions and links, plus /msg, /r, /ignore, social spy and staff chat. A Title Scrolls {title} hook is included, and chat can use the title's color.
• Show items in chat: type [item] to show the item in your hand, or shift + right-click an item in your inventory. 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.
• World: the Ender Dragon respawns on its own a set time after it dies (timer in dragon.toml).
• 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, and for armor stands, item frames, paintings, minecarts, boats and any entity or tag you add. Off by default; numbers in limits.toml. Turns itself off when Elements: Claims is installed.
• Kits: one-time and cooldown kits.
• AFK: automatic AFK detection.
• Player toggles: /pvp lets players opt out of PvP, 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 staff log. Vanish hides staff everywhere.
• Messages: nicknames, /rules, /vote, /help (only commands a player can use), /broadcast, announcements, /restartwarn, and join, leave, first-join and MOTD messages. Links are clickable.
• 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 player-count status channel.
• Migration: imports from NeoEssentials, FTB Ranks, FTB Essentials, LuckPerms and TAB, with a preview first.
• Storage: JSON (default), YAML, SQLite or MySQL. Switch with /nexus storage convert. SQLite and MySQL need their driver jar in elements_nexus/drivers (not included).
• Overlap guard: turns off Nexus features that another installed mod already provides.

File changelog (1.0.3)

Elements: Nexus 1.0.3

Changed

• Side panel {balance} shows the player's balance from an installed economy mod, in that mod's currency names (e.g. "3 Block of Emerald, 5 Emerald").
• source under [balance] in sidepanel.toml: auto (economy mod first, then coin items), economy, coins or none.
• The monopoly source is removed; configs that still use it are read as economy.

New

• Balance layout and color settings in sidepanel.toml [balance], applied on save with no restart:
  • stacked: first currency on the Balance line, the rest on their own lines, lined up under it
  • economy_format: how each currency looks (default &f{amount} &a{name})
  • economy_separator: what goes between currencies on one line (default &7,)
  • economy_align / economy_indent: line extra currencies up under the first, or use your own indent
• Default Balance line is now yellow: &eBalance: {balance}. Existing configs keep their own line.
