## \ud83d\udcd6 Overview<\/p>\n
**ModeratorMode** is an essential tool that allows staff members to switch into a dedicated moderation mode with a single command. It safely saves their entire survival state\u2014including location, inventory, health, and effects\u2014and equips them with a configurable set of admin tools. This allows them to perform their duties efficiently and return to their previous state exactly as they left it.<\/p>\n
This plugin is built to be robust, lightweight, and fully manageable from in-game, making it a perfect fit for any server.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n
– **Seamless State Saving:** Toggling moderator mode (`\/mm`) instantly saves a player’s location, inventory, gamemode, health, food level, experience, and potion effects.
\n– **Crash-Proof Persistence:** Player data is saved to a local JSON file, ensuring that even if the server crashes, a moderator’s inventory and state are never lost.
\n– **Fully Configurable Hotbar:** Admins can define a custom set of items that moderators receive upon entering the mode. Add special tools, compasses, or custom items from other plugins directly from in-game!
\n– **Player Inspection System:** Right-click any player while in moderator mode to view their inventory, ender chest, statistics, and active potion effects in real-time\u2014all in secure, read-only GUIs.
\n– **Comprehensive Logging:** All moderation actions are automatically logged to JSON files with timestamps, including mode entries\/exits, player inspections, and hotbar modifications.
\n– **Built-in Moderator Tools:**
\n – **Simple Vanish:** Automatically hides moderators from regular players using the reliable built-in Bukkit method.
\n – **Permanent Night Vision:** Grants infinite night vision to ensure moderators can see everything clearly, day or night.
\n – **Item Drop Protection:** Prevents moderators from accidentally dropping their configured tools.
\n– **Easy In-Game Management:** All hotbar items can be managed via simple admin commands. No need to manually edit YAML files after the initial setup.
\n– **Lightweight & No Dependencies:** Built to be efficient and stable with no external plugin dependencies required for core functionality.<\/p>\n
