Server Seeder Whitelist

The Server Seeder Whitelist plugin rewards players who help populate the server during low-population periods by progressively granting them whitelist privileges based on their seeding time.

Features

• Tracks players who help seed the server during low population
• Progressive whitelist system based on seeding hours
• Automatic progress decay for inactive players
• Admin group assignment for whitelisted players
• Chat command for players to check progress
• Configurable seeding thresholds and timeframes

Configuration Options

How It Works

1. Seeding Detection: Monitors when server is below seeding threshold
2. Progress Accumulation: Awards progress to players present during seeding
3. Whitelist Achievement: Grants admin privileges when progress reaches 100%
4. Decay System: Reduces progress for inactive players
5. Automatic Management: Handles admin group assignments and expirations

Progress System

• Players earn progress when server population is below threshold
• Progress accumulates over time toward the whitelist threshold
• 100% progress grants temporary admin privileges
• Progress decays if players become inactive
• Whitelist status expires after the configured duration

Example Configuration

{
  "seeding_threshold": 40,
  "hours_to_whitelist": 8,
  "whitelist_duration_days": 10,
  "decay_after_hours": 72,
  "min_players_for_decay": 70,
  "min_players_for_seeding": 15,
  "whitelist_group_name": "server_seeders"
}

Admin Group Setup

The plugin automatically manages an admin group for whitelisted players. Ensure your server configuration includes:

[Group.seeder_whitelist]
GroupName=seeder_whitelist

Tips

• Set seeding threshold based on your server's typical population
• Adjust hours requirement based on how often your server needs seeding
• Use decay settings to encourage regular participation
• The chat command !wl allows players to check their progress
• Consider whitelist duration to maintain active seeders
• Monitor progress to ensure the system rewards helpful players
