Technical use cases

Catch a Java mismatch before the restart

PluginGuardReleased

Starting problem

A plugin update is now compiled for a newer Java than your server runs. The JVM would refuse to load it, and the cause is buried in a long startup log.

What the plugin decides

PluginGuard reads the class-file version inside every jar in plugins/ and compares it with the Java the server reports. It never executes or changes a jar.

Result

The scan reports a critical JAVA_VERSION_TOO_NEW finding for that plugin, and the fix list says to run a newer Java or use a build made for yours.

Limits to keep in mind

PluginGuard runs inside a server that is already up. Scan after copying the jar and before you restart; it cannot help a server that no longer boots.

Tell a crash from a moderator kick

VelorFailoverReleased

Starting problem

Velocity raises the same event for a crashed backend, a moderator kick and a ban. Redirecting on that event would send banned players to the lobby.

What the plugin decides

VelorFailover pings the server. If it answers, Velocity handles the kick as usual. Only a failed ping, with a fallback that answers, moves players.

Result

After a real crash, players wait on the fallback and return once the server passes the configured number of consecutive checks.

Limits to keep in mind

If the fallback is also down, nothing is redirected. Planned stops are recognised only when your stop message contains a configured text.

Hold a suspicious reward for review

ReferralTrackAwaiting approval

Starting problem

Two players on the same address refer each other, and the welcome reward would be paid out automatically.

What the plugin decides

With the optional fraud review enabled, ReferralTrack scores explainable signals (same IP, mutual referral, recent first join, low playtime) and holds the referral when the score reaches your threshold.

Result

A held referral cannot validate or release rewards until staff approve or reject it with a reason, and the decision is written to an audit log.

Limits to keep in mind

Fraud review is off by default. The signals set review priority; they do not prove alternate accounts.

Roll back an update that fails its command check

VeloRoadAwaiting approval

Starting problem

You replace a plugin live. The new version enables, but its commands never register.

What the plugin decides

VeloRoad runs preflight checks, makes a SHA-256 verified backup, loads the new jar and compares the commands it registered with its descriptor.

Result

If loading, enabling or the command check fails, the previous verified version is restored automatically when a backup exists.

Limits to keep in mind

A full restart is still the safest choice for critical plugins and plugins that keep deep live references.

One YAML file, three menu surfaces

CrossMenuAwaiting approval

Starting problem

Java and Bedrock players need the same shop, and keeping three separate menus in sync is a chore.

What the plugin decides

CrossMenu reads one menu definition and shows it as a chest on Java, as a native dialog where the server provides the Dialog API, and as a native form for Geyser or Floodgate players.

Result

Each player gets the native surface for their client from the same file.

Limits to keep in mind

Bedrock forms are static once open. Java dialogs need Dialog API support; older servers fall back to the chest menu. Minecraft 1.20.5 or newer is required.

Move data with a dry run and a way back

MigrateComing soon

This plugin is not released yet. There is no purchase link until it is.

Starting problem

You are switching from one plugin to another and want to keep homes, warps, balances or punishments.

What the plugin decides

Migrate is designed to plan the run, show it in a dry run, write a verified backup, write the data, read it back to verify it and keep what it wrote reversible.

Result

A report lists what was moved and what was skipped, and why.

Limits to keep in mind

Migrate is not released. Supported plugins, versions and platforms will be announced with the release; none is promised here.
