✨ One Mod, Lots of Server Stuff

Paradigm combines the everyday tools a server needs into one modular system.

Enable what you need, disable what you don't, and do everything without downloading lots of separate mods.

No external panel required. It runs with your server all localy.

And plenty of admin utilities:

Most built-in commands can be individually enabled or disabled.

Built-In Permissions & Groups

Paradigm includes its own permission and group system.

• Create and manage permission groups

🧩 Custom Commands

Perfect for server information, links, shortcuts, rules, and other small server-specific commands.

💾 Flexible Data Storage

Paradigm can store server data using multiple storage providers.

• JSON
• SQLite
• MySQL / MariaDB

Storage status, connection testing, fallback state, and migration dry runs are available directly from the dashboard.

Existing data can be migrated between supported storage providers with conflict handling and migration previews.

🎀 Modular by Design

Don't need part of Paradigm? Turn it off.

Modules and commands can be configured individually, and built-in command roots can be enabled or disabled through the dashboard or in json config.

📦 Installation

1. Install the supported Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge version for your Minecraft server.
2. Download the matching Paradigm .jar.
3. Place it in your server's mods folder.
4. Start the server.

Paradigm will generate its configuration and data files automatically.

For Fabric versions, dont forget Fabric API. (If you are using downloaded fabric modpack, the API will be there already)

🖥️ Opening the Dashboard

Run:

/paradigm dashboard open

Paradigm creates a secure one-time login link for the local dashboard.

The dashboard is bound locally by default. Remote access should only be configured when you understand the security implications of exposing an administration interface.

📖 Commands

Paradigm contains quite a few commands now. Like… a lot. qwq

Use:

/paradigm help

for built-in help and module information.

The dashboard also includes searchable command settings for enabling or disabling built-in command roots.
