HrdaTools

Running a Minecraft SMP server means juggling player requests, maintaining order, and creating memorable moments. HrdaTools is the all-in-one utility plugin that transforms how you manage your world. Whether you need to vanish for discreet moderation, craft overpowered custom kits, or add immersive proximity-based death effects, HrdaTools delivers a polished set of tools that feel like they belong in the vanilla game. It is built for server owners and content creators who want deep control without clunky interfaces.

Why HrdaTools Stands Out for Minecraft SMP Servers

Unlike many utility plugins that feel disjointed, HrdaTools bundles essential admin commands and immersive mechanics into one cohesive package. It is designed for modern Minecraft versions, running smoothly on Paper and Spigot server loaders for releases like 1.20 and 1.21. The plugin’s philosophy is simple: give operators the power to shape player experiences without breaking the game’s core feel. From stealth moderation to custom kit giveaways, every feature is permission-based and configurable.

Player Management and Stealth Features

HrdaTools excels at giving admins subtle yet powerful oversight. The /vanish command makes you completely invisible, removing you from the TAB list, blocking tab-completion of your name, and even sending a fake leave message so players never suspect you are watching. For more direct intervention, /freeze locks a player in place for a set duration, perfect for handling rule-breakers without kicking them immediately.

You can also tweak player stats on the fly. /hearts sets a player’s maximum health, letting you create challenging scenarios or give newbies extra survivability. The /invincible toggle puts a player into a “fake immortality” state where they stay at half a heart but cannot die from normal damage — ideal for scripted events or testing. Inventory inspection is a breeze with /invsee, which opens a read-only view of another player’s items, armor, and off-hand, while /ec lets you access any player’s ender chest for recovery or auditing.

Kit System for Instant Loadouts

HrdaTools includes a robust kit system that saves, previews, and distributes full inventories. Use /kit save to capture your current gear — armor, off-hand, and all — into a named kit. The /kit gui command opens a clean graphical interface where players can browse available kits with item previews, making giveaways feel professional. Admins can then hand out kits to individuals or the entire server with /kit name player|all, and remove outdated kits via /kit delete. This system is perfect for starter packs, event rewards, or class-based gameplay.

Item and Enchantment Overdrive

Break free from vanilla limits. HrdaTools lets you apply any enchantment up to level 255 with a simple command: /enchant target enchantment level. Supports selectors like @a, @p, and @r, so you can mass-enchant entire teams. Need to repair or damage a specific tool? /durability sets the exact durability of the held item. The plugin also offers advanced book editing: /book sign|unsign|author|title allows you to change authors, revert signed books to editable drafts, or rewrite titles with full color code support. Content creators will love crafting custom lore books without external editors.

Immersive Proximity System

One of HrdaTools’ most unique additions is the proximity-based messaging and death effects. Instead of server-wide spam, join, quit, and death messages only appear to players within a configurable radius (default 50 blocks). This creates a more intimate, local feel — as if players are truly in a shared world. When a player dies, a harmless lightning bolt strikes their location and an optional Wither spawn sound plays, adding dramatic flair without extra damage. The /proximity command toggles the entire system on or off instantly, giving you full control during events.

If you manage your server through the foxygame.net launcher, you can install HrdaTools directly from its built-in add-on catalog with a single click. The launcher automatically checks version compatibility and keeps the plugin updated, so you never have to hunt for the correct jar file or worry about breaking changes between Minecraft updates.

Server Management Commands

When chaos erupts, HrdaTools provides mass-action commands that respect gamemode and permission filters. /mutechat instantly silences the entire server except for players with the bypass permission. /toggletab hides or reveals all player names in the TAB list for ultimate anonymity during events. The /clearall command wipes inventories — including armor and off-hand — for specific gamemodes, permission groups, or even offline players (which clears their saved player data files). Similarly, /kickall and /banall remove or permanently ban filtered groups with an optional custom reason. A simple /hrdatools reload refreshes the configuration without restarting the server, saving precious uptime.

Configuration and Permissions

HrdaTools stores its settings in a clear config.yml file. You can adjust the proximity distance, toggle death sounds and lightning, and manage kit storage in the kits.db database. Permissions are granular: hrdatools.admin grants full access (default for operators), while bypass nodes like hrdatools.mutechat.bypass, hrdatools.kickall.bypass, and hrdatools.banall.bypass let you exempt trusted staff from mass actions. The plugin also integrates with PlaceholderAPI, exposing placeholders such as %hrdatools_chat_muted%, %hrdatools_is_frozen%, %hrdatools_is_vanished%, and %hrdatools_is_invincible% for dynamic scoreboards or HUDs.

How to Install HrdaTools for Minecraft

Getting started with HrdaTools is straightforward. First, ensure your server runs a compatible loader like Paper or Spigot for Minecraft 1.20 or newer. Download HrdaTools from the official plugin repository or your preferred platform. Place the .jar file into your server’s plugins folder and restart the server. The plugin will generate its default configuration files automatically. If you use PlaceholderAPI, install it beforehand to enable the custom placeholders. For a hassle-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher can handle the entire process — just search for HrdaTools in the add-on section, click install, and the launcher places the correct version in your mods folder while resolving dependencies.
