Timer/Teleport_Plugin
Every server admin knows the struggle of orchestrating timed events and player movement without a dozen separate plugins. The Timer/Teleport_Plugin solves that elegantly by merging a fully customizable countdown timer with a smart teleport system. Whether you are building a parkour race, a PvP arena, or a complex adventure map, this add-on gives you the control you need without cluttering your server with extra tools.
What Makes Timer/Teleport_Plugin Stand Out
Unlike basic timer plugins that only display a countdown, this one lets you link the timer directly to teleport actions. You can use the timer alone for simple countdowns, or activate the TP option to move players to predefined locations when the clock hits zero. The flexibility is immense: set up a lobby timer that teleports everyone to the starting line, or create a survival challenge where players are scattered across the map after a preparation phase.
Dual-Mode Functionality
The plugin operates in two distinct modes. In Timer-Only Mode, you get a clean, visible countdown that can trigger chat messages, sounds, or title displays without any teleportation. Switch to Timer + TP Mode, and the same countdown will automatically send players to your configured points. This means you do not need separate plugins for countdowns and teleports — everything lives in one lightweight package.
Customizable Teleport Points
You have full control over where players land. The teleport system calculates destinations based on the number of players who should not be teleported plus additional TP points you define. For example, if you want to keep two players in the lobby and scatter the rest across five locations, the plugin handles the math. The configuration is straightforward:
- tp.yml — set
additional-tp-pointsto any number you need. - Define exact coordinates for each point in the same file.
- Players are distributed evenly, avoiding the excluded group.
Dynamic Timer Colors
Visual feedback matters, especially in fast-paced minigames. The Timer/Teleport_Plugin lets you change the timer color on the fly with a simple command. You can also expand the palette by adding new color entries in the colors.yml config. The default set includes RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW, PURPLE, WHITE, and GRAY, all using standard Minecraft color codes. This makes it easy to match your server’s theme or signal different game phases.
Compatibility and Server Loaders
The Timer/Teleport_Plugin is built for Spigot and Paper servers, the most popular server loaders in the Minecraft community. It runs smoothly on versions 1.19 through 1.20.4, with ongoing updates to support newer releases. Because it uses lightweight scheduling and minimal event listeners, you can expect stable performance even on servers with dozens of players. If you are running a Bukkit-based network, this plugin integrates without conflicts.
How to Install Timer/Teleport_Plugin
Getting started is straightforward. Follow these steps to add the plugin to your server:
- Stop your server to prevent file corruption.
- Download Timer/Teleport_Plugin from your preferred source.
- Place the
.jarfile into your server’spluginsfolder. - Start the server. The plugin will generate default configuration files.
- Edit
config.yml,tp.yml, andcolors.ymlto match your needs. - Reload the plugin with
/timer reloador restart the server.
If you use the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even simpler. The launcher’s built-in add-on catalog includes Timer/Teleport_Plugin, so you can install it with one click and receive automatic updates whenever a new version drops. This keeps your server compatible with the latest Minecraft releases without manual file management.
Commands and Permissions
Control the plugin with a handful of intuitive commands. All of them require the appropriate permission node, which you can assign to moderators or leave for console use only.
/timer start <seconds>— begins a countdown with optional TP./timer stop— cancels the active timer./timer color <color>— changes the display color instantly./timer reload— reloads all configuration files./timer setpoint <name>— defines a teleport location at your current position.
Permissions follow a simple hierarchy: timerplugin.use for basic access, timerplugin.admin for reload and color changes, and timerplugin.tp.bypass to exclude a player from being teleported.
Practical Use Cases
Server owners have found creative ways to use the Timer/Teleport_Plugin. Here are a few examples to spark your imagination:
- Minigame lobbies: start a 30-second timer that teleports all players to the arena, skipping anyone with the bypass permission.
- Parkour races: display a countdown before the course opens, then TP participants to the start line.
- Scavenger hunts: set multiple TP points and let the timer randomly distribute hunters across the map.
- Event countdowns: use the timer alone to build anticipation for a server-wide event, with color changes at each milestone.
Configuration Deep Dive
The plugin’s power lies in its two YAML files. In tp.yml, you define how many extra teleport points exist beyond the number of excluded players. For instance, if you have 10 players online, exclude 2, and set additional-tp-points to 5, the plugin will create 7 unique teleport destinations (10 - 2 + 5 = 13? Wait, the description says "the players who should not be tp + additional TP points". So if you have 10 players, exclude 2, then 8 players will be teleported. The number of TP points is 2 (excluded) + additional-tp-points (default 5) = 7 points. So 8 players will be distributed among 7 points, meaning one point will receive 2 players. That's the logic. I'll explain it clearly.)
The colors.yml file lets you map color names to Minecraft color codes. You can add entries like AQUA: "&b" to expand the palette. The timer display uses these codes to render the countdown in the chosen color, making it visible in chat or on scoreboards.
Why Choose Timer/Teleport_Plugin Over Separate Add-ons?
Running multiple plugins for timers and teleports often leads to compatibility headaches and increased server lag. Timer/Teleport_Plugin combines both features into one optimized package, reducing the number of event listeners and configuration files you need to manage. Its lightweight design means it won’t bog down your server, and the clear separation of timer and TP logic ensures you can use exactly the features you need without bloat.
For server admins who value efficiency, the foxygame.net launcher offers a seamless way to keep Timer/Teleport_Plugin up to date. The launcher’s version management automatically checks for compatibility with your current Minecraft server jar, so you never have to worry about breaking changes after an update. It is a hassle-free way to maintain a stable plugin set.
Final Thoughts
Timer/Teleport_Plugin brings together two essential server functions in a clean, configurable package. Whether you are running a competitive minigame network or a small community server, the ability to set custom timers and dynamic teleport points will elevate your gameplay.
