FoliaCore v5.6 Blue Nightingale

FoliaCore is a Folia-first essentials and administration plugin for Minecraft servers that want one clean toolkit instead of many separate add-ons. It blends player convenience, staff utilities, teleports, moderation, visual polish, and permission control into a single package that feels intentionally built for regionalized servers.

Why server owners choose it

FoliaCore is made for servers that want the essentials experience without the usual clutter.

• Built for Folia from the ground up.
• Modern Paper command registration.
• Modular feature toggles in config.yml.
• Separate permission nodes for nearly every command.
• Dynamic per-warp and per-kit access control.
• A visually rich tab/sidebar blueprint in tab-sidebar.yml.
• Modrinth update checks for easy release tracking.
• No Vault economy layer, so the focus stays on gameplay, administration, and polish.

Why it feels better to use

The difference is not just technical. It is practical.

Players get fast access to homes, warps, kits, chat tools, mail, teleport requests, and small quality-of-life commands that reduce friction without turning the server into a plugin maze.

Staff get moderation, vanish, social spy, inventory tools, repair tools, time and weather control, anti-raid support, and clean access to the tools they actually need.

Developers and operators get something even more important: permission nodes that are easy to audit, easy to grant, and easy to document.

The new /foliacore help command also filters the command list by your permissions so staff and players can discover the tools they actually have. The /foliacore reload command is included for operators who want to refresh configuration without restarting.

What is new in v5.6

This release updates the plugin branding to v5.6 Blue Nightingale and formalizes the permission tree in the plugin metadata. The result is a cleaner release story and a more complete server-side permission setup.

Notable changes:

• Added a permission gate for /kit.
• Added a permission-aware /foliacore help command and a /foliacore version command.
• Added a /foliacore reload command for quick configuration refreshes.
• Declared all core permission defaults in paper-plugin.yml.
• Updated the runtime banner to v5.6.
• Standardized the release version across the build files.
• Reworked the docs so operators and developers can scan them quickly.

Installation

1. Download the release jar.
2. Put it in plugins/.
3. Start the server once on Folia with Java 21.
4. Edit plugins/FoliaCore/config.yml to enable or disable the systems you want.
5. Edit plugins/FoliaCore/tab-sidebar.yml if you want the animated visual stack.
6. Assign permissions per group or per player.

Permission design

The plugin follows a simple rule set.

• Player-friendly commands default to true.
• Staff, admin, destructive, or high-impact commands default to false.
• Warp and kit access can be narrowed further with individual nodes.

Important patterns

• /warp can be granted globally with foliacore.warp.all.
• Specific warps can be granted with foliacore.warp.<warpname>.
• /kit uses foliacore.kit.
• Kits created by staff generate their own node, such as foliacore.kit.<kitname>.
• Kit creation and deletion stay on foliacore.kit.admin.

Visual systems

tab-sidebar.yml is the optional visual blueprint for server owners who want more than plain text.

It covers:

• Tab header and footer animation.
• Sidebar layouts and line control.
• Nametags, belowname, bossbars, and ping spoofing.
• Fonts, sprites, placeholders, and output formatting.
• Toggle persistence for per-player visual settings.

For developers and server admins

FoliaCore is clean to reason about because the code is split across clear surfaces:

• FoliaCore.java handles registration.
• Command classes enforce permission checks.
• Managers handle persistence and runtime logic.
• The plugin descriptor now publishes the permission defaults directly.

That makes the plugin easier to audit, easier to document, and easier to grant to the right people.
