Do you want a creative and survival server? Are you having trouble keeping them separated? PartialCreative creates a new hybrid gamemode for controlled inventory management. Players in this mode have a separate inventory that they cannot drop, stash in blocks, or otherwise leak into the world. While in this mode players are also given a set of permission nodes set in the config (for example essentials.kit.partialcreative).

Installation:

Put the partialcreative.jar file in your /plugins folder
Start your server
edit the new config.yml in your new /plugins/PartialCreative folder
restart your server (or reload partialcreative with plugman)

Requirements:

Vault

Commands:

/pcm (toggles you between partialcreative mode and non-partialcreative mode)

Permissions:

partialcreative.toggle (lets you use /pcm)

Features:

Denies item drop, open inventory, and item pickup for pc mode players
Grants pc mode players a configurable list of permissions (in config.yml)
Blocks damage to and from players in pc mode

Note: In an effort to keep this plugin as lightweight (it is very very lightweight) as possible, I do not store player's partialcreative inventory. Therefore if you restart your server, it will not remember your partialcreative inventory.
