ServerTweaks

ServerTweaks is a lightweight, high-performance utility and system-tweaking plugin designed for modern Minecraft servers. It allows server administrators to fully customize core game mechanics, control default system notifications (such as join, quit, and death messages), synchronize real-world time, and manage world-specific bed behaviors—all while providing essential player tools like a ping checker and automated update notifications.

Features

• Join and Quit Message Customization: Easily modify or completely hide player connection and disconnection messages in the chat.

• First-Join Welcome Messages: Automatically track the total player count and broadcast a unique welcome message when a new player joins the server for the first time.

• Death Message Customization: Rewrite default death notifications while preserving the vanilla death reason dynamically.

• Custom Sleep Notifications: Announce how many players are sleeping out of the total required amount on the current world whenever someone enters a bed.

• World-Specific Bed Settings: Control whether players can sleep or set spawn points without explosions in specific dimensions or custom worlds (such as the Nether or The End) per world name.

• Infinite Liquid Control: Toggle infinite water and lava source generation globally.

• Item Despawn Time Adjustment: Customize the exact number of seconds before dropped items disappear.

• Hunger Exhaustion Rate Modifier: Adjust how fast players get hungry during movement or activities.

• Real-World Time Synchronization: Synchronize selected worlds' time automatically with any specified real-world timezone.

• Ping Command: Provides players with a simple command to check their current network latency in milliseconds.

• Automated Config & Lang Synchronization: Automatically reloads configuration and language files asynchronously in the background every 3 minutes without any console spam.

• Update Checker: Automatically notifies operators on join if a newer version is available on Modrinth with a clickable download link.

• ESC Menu Server Links: Add official server links directly into the vanilla escape pause menu, supporting both preset icons (such as Discord or Store) and custom text buttons.

• Invalid-commands: You can invalid some commands.
