Guests is a lightweight Bukkit plugin for managing guest players on your Minecraft server. Using a permission system and config, server owners can leave their whitelists off to make a server public, but still vet people who join by turning on a guest mode by default, and setting unverified players to spectator mode.

It allows you to restrict block breaking, block placing, block interaction, and chat for guests, with configurable options.

You use the various permission nodes given and apply them to permission groups to enable or disable guest behavior. A good way is to give guest permissions to the "default" permission group all players get on join, and have a method to promote them upwards once they are whitelisted / verified.

Usage

I recommend using LuckPerms to manage the groups, and adding guest.guest and other permissions to the "default" group. You can use /lp promote to promote specified users.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve this system plz let me know on the GitHub!
