# \ud83e\uddf0 AlexPlugins \u2013 ServerTools<\/p>\n
## Update to 0.0.5 Alpha before 3\/30<\/p>\n
**ServerTools** is a modular utility plugin for **Paper Minecraft servers** designed to provide small, focused server-side tools that integrate cleanly with modern plugins like **PlaceholderAPI** and **TAB**.<\/p>\n
The project is intentionally structured as a **framework-style plugin**, allowing features to be enabled, disabled, and expanded over time without bloating the server or forcing unnecessary dependencies.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f **ServerTools is actively developed and considered WIP.**
\nFeatures and structure may change between releases.<\/p>\n

## \u2728 Core Features<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd52 Player Timezone System
\nA fully local, per-player timezone system using **real IANA timezone identifiers** (no EST\/PST\/GMT guessing).<\/p>\n
– Per-player timezone storage
\n– Server default timezone fallback
\n– Automatic DST handling
\n– Join reminders for players without a timezone set
\n– Integrated PlaceholderAPI support
\n– Works seamlessly with TAB<\/p>\n
Example output:
\n6:18 PM [EST]<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83e\udde9 PlaceholderAPI Integration (Bundled)
\nServerTools registers its own **internal PlaceholderAPI expansion** at runtime.<\/p>\n
No eCloud downloads required.<\/p>\n
Available placeholder:
\n%servertools_time%<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udccb Modular Configuration
\nAll main configuration is stored in **`servertools.yml`** (not `config.yml`) to support modular expansion.<\/p>\n
Each module can be enabled or disabled independently.<\/p>\n
