What is Vanilla Core?
Instead of running 10+ different plugins, Vanilla Core handles most of what you need for an SMP:
- PvP Balance: Gap limits, mace limits, enchantment caps - Gear Control: Disable netherite, limit enchantments - Dimension Locks: Keep Nether/End closed until you're ready - Mob Control: Disable specific mobs per world with WorldGuard support - Server Restart: Scheduled restarts with countdown warnings - QoL Features: Infinite villager trades, one player sleep, minimap control
Everything is off by default. Turn on what you need, ignore the rest.
