Utilz

the essentials plugin that doesn't make you want to uninstall minecraft

---

💭 what even is this

tired of bloated essentials plugins that have 847 features you'll never use? same.

utilz is a lightweight, no-bs utilities plugin for vanilla SMP servers. it has everything you actually need and nothing you don't. homes, spawn, tpa, some QoL stuff, and that's it. no economy system, no warps to a mall dimension, no 47 different chat formats.

it's built for Paper 1.21+, works on Spigot too, and yes - it supports Folia because we're not living in 2019 anymore.

✨ features (the stuff that matters)

🏠 Home System

• multiple homes (configurable limit)
• cute lil GUI to manage them
• bed home auto-sets when you sleep (you're welcome)
• per-dimension icons in the GUI because we're fancy like that

🌍 Spawn System

• server spawn that actually works
• first-join teleport (new players spawn at spawn, shocking)
• /setspawn for admins, /spawn for everyone else

🚀 TPA System

• /tpa - "hey can i tp to you"
• /tpahere - "no u tp to me"
• /tpaccept / /tpdeny - self explanatory
• /back - go back to where you died (or where you were before tp)
• configurable timeout so requests don't haunt you forever

😴 Better Sleep

• skip night with configurable % of players sleeping
• broadcasts who's sleeping and how many more needed
• no more "EVERYONE SLEEP NOW" chaos in chat

🪑 Sit

• right-click stairs, slabs, carpets to sit
• because sometimes you just wanna vibe
• sneak + click to not sit (for when you actually need to place blocks)

🔧 Utility Commands

Command	What it does
/heal	heals you (or someone else if you're nice)
/feed	feeds you (no more eating simulator)
/gmc /gms /gma /gmsp	gamemode shortcuts because typing is hard

📦 Container Commands

open virtual containers anywhere, no blocks needed:

/anvil /workbench /enderchest /grindstone /stonecutter /smithing /loom /cartography

👋 Join/Quit Messages

• fully customizable with hex colors
• PlaceholderAPI support
• separate first-join message for the warm welcome

🔌 soft dependencies

these are optional but make things cooler:

Plugin	Why
PlaceholderAPI	placeholders in messages
LuckPerms	better permission handling
Vault	permission integration

---

📊 data storage

uses SQLite because we're not animals. your data lives in plugins/Utilz/data.db - fast, reliable, no external database setup needed.

---

🌿 folia support

yes, it works on Folia. all teleportation is async, all tasks are region-aware. we live in the future now.
