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

Option	Description	Default	Required
`seeding_threshold`	Player count for seeding mode	50	No
`hours_to_whitelist`	Hours needed for 100% whitelist	6	No
`whitelist_duration_days`	Days whitelist lasts	7	No
`decay_after_hours`	Hours before decay starts	48	No
`min_players_for_decay`	Server players needed for decay	60	No
`min_players_for_seeding`	Server players needed for progress	10	No
`progress_interval_seconds`	Progress check frequency	60	No
`decay_interval_seconds`	Decay application frequency	3600	No
`whitelist_group_name`	Admin group name	"seeder_whitelist"	No

How It Works

Seeding Detection: Monitors when server is below seeding threshold
Progress Accumulation: Awards progress to players present during seeding
Whitelist Achievement: Grants admin privileges when progress reaches 100%
Decay System: Reduces progress for inactive players
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
