GuestMode is a Plugin inspired by the "Guest"-Permission of Minecraft Bedrock Edition and used by my own Server which denies Players from Building or Breaking Blocks by default.

If installed GuestMode simply cancels any Crafting, Inventory (Chest), Item Looting, Item Dropping, Crop Trampling, Redstone usage and so on for Players without the "guestmode.play"-Permission set. (I can recommend LuckPerms for Permissions because it's easy to use with it's online Editor)

This Plugin comes with a simple Config you can alter to your needs. Just take a look at the "Config-Files"-section in this Post!

How to Install?

- Download the Plugin

- Drop the Plugin into your plugins Directory (on your desired Server)

- Use /plugman (re-)load GuestMode or restart/reload your Server

- (If not done already) Create a "Member" Group on your Permissions ... This Plugin requires to have some Permission system running otherwise your Players are unable to do Stuff!

- Add the guestmode.play-Permission to the "Member" Group (or whatever it's called on your Server)

- Run /unguest <Player> (e.g. /unguest D3thw0lf) to unguest Players or manually add them to your Members Group so they can play. Make sure you've edited the "commands to run"-section in your Config.

Done!

So... why GuestMode?

I made this Plugin because I'm hosting a small survival Minecraft Server listed on some public Serverlists and wanted to keep the Whitelist off so that Players can join the World, play or just hang out with us. This ended up in some Grief (oh wonder) so "GuestMode" was born to at least have some "first" protection that don't require a(nother) big plugin, Worldguard rules (mess) or thousands of permissions to work. Simple as that.

I think my plugin can maybe be helpful to such Servers that want a simple but effective way keeping new Players in a sort of "Guestmode" first before approval (e.g. small Survival Communitys allowing Friends to invite Friends but don't trust anyone new joining). ^^

You can try the Plugin or play with us on pawsome.kaefgames.com (or paws.kaefgames.com:25577, mainly a German speaking Server but English is fine, too).
