**SimpleTrigger (v1.1.1)** is a plugin for Minecraft servers (Paper) that adds an interactive trigger system. It allows you to turn any block or the area around it into an \u201cactive zone\u201d: when a player enters it, predefined commands are executed automatically.<\/p>\n
## Key features<\/p>\n
* Create triggers that can execute up to 5 commands.
\n* Place a trigger on a specific block or in an area around it using coordinates and radius.
\n* Execute commands on behalf of a player or the server (using the `!` prefix).
\n* Use the `%player%` variable to insert the player\u2019s name.
\n* Configure everything directly in\u2011game \u2014 no need to edit configuration files.
\n* Choose the trigger type:
\n * **Point trigger** \u2014 activates when a player steps on a specific block.
\n * **Zone trigger** \u2014 creates a spherical zone with a specified radius: commands are executed when a player is inside it.
\n* Set the trigger to activate once or repeatedly (**note:** repeating triggers are currently not working correctly).
\n* Compatible with Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.8\u20131.21.<\/p>\n
## Use cases<\/p>\n
* Teleport players to key locations.
\n* Reward players with items after they complete tasks.
\n* Apply status effects (speed, jump boost, etc.) within a specific zone.
\n* Send welcome messages to new players when they enter a zone.
\n* Create secret passages and traps based on block activation.
\n* Organize effect zones (e.g., speed boost, slowdown, invisibility).
\n* Implement automatic events in a specific map area (welcome banners, mini\u2011games).<\/p>\n
## How it works<\/p>\n
1. **Create a trigger:**
\n“`
\n\/trigger create [name] [max commands] [is zone trigger true\/false] [is repeating true\/false]
\n“`
\n* `[name]` \u2014 the trigger\u2019s name.
\n* `[max commands]` \u2014 maximum number of commands to execute (up to 5).
\n* `[is zone trigger]` \u2014 set `true` for a zone trigger (sphere with a given radius) or `false` for a point trigger (single block).
\n* `[is repeating]` \u2014 `true` for repeated activation, `false` for one\u2011time activation. **Important:** repeating triggers are currently not working correctly.<\/p>\n
2. **Add commands:**
\n* For a **point trigger**:
\n“`
\n\/trigger edit [name] [command 1] [command 2] …
\n“`
\n* For a **zone trigger**, you must specify the sphere radius (in blocks):
\n“`
\n\/trigger edit [name] [zone radius as a number] [command 1] [command 2] …
\n“`
\n**Important:** if your command contains spaces, replace them with the `”` symbol \u2014 the plugin recognizes it as a space.<\/p>\n
3. **Configure the trigger for a block:** 4. **You\u2019re done!** When a player: —<\/p>\n A simple, lightweight, and feature\u2011rich tool to bring your server to life \u2014 no complex settings required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SimpleTrigger \u2014 triggers for Minecraft server: up to 5 commands per block, in\u2011game setup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":141345,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"simpletrigger","_minecraft_project_id":"BJNZxBPG","_minecraft_author":"_dexp_","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":18,"_minecraft_follows":0,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"simpletrigger.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":40156,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:40:13.306751Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-03-04T21:35:18.250978Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-06T13:32:35.949302Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/simpletrigger","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":141345,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T09:37:54+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"ecd835c86ee61ec7b542a03024010a29","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[89,126,866,127,92],"mod_loader":[132],"minecraft_version":[339,340,341,357,359,360,379,382,385,438,446,449,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,860,861,862,863,864],"class_list":["post-141344","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-management","mod_category-minigame","mod_category-paper","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-paper","minecraft_version-1-10","minecraft_version-1-10-1","minecraft_version-1-10-2","minecraft_version-1-11","minecraft_version-1-11-1","minecraft_version-1-11-2","minecraft_version-1-12","minecraft_version-1-12-1","minecraft_version-1-12-2","minecraft_version-1-13","minecraft_version-1-13-1","minecraft_version-1-13-2","minecraft_version-1-14","minecraft_version-1-14-1","minecraft_version-1-14-2","minecraft_version-1-14-3","minecraft_version-1-14-4","minecraft_version-1-15","minecraft_version-1-15-1","minecraft_version-1-15-2","minecraft_version-1-16","minecraft_version-1-16-1","minecraft_version-1-16-2","minecraft_version-1-16-3","minecraft_version-1-16-4","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-17","minecraft_version-1-17-1","minecraft_version-1-18","minecraft_version-1-18-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-1-8","minecraft_version-1-8-1","minecraft_version-1-8-2","minecraft_version-1-8-3","minecraft_version-1-8-4","minecraft_version-1-8-5","minecraft_version-1-8-6","minecraft_version-1-8-7","minecraft_version-1-8-8","minecraft_version-1-8-9","minecraft_version-1-9","minecraft_version-1-9-1","minecraft_version-1-9-2","minecraft_version-1-9-3","minecraft_version-1-9-4"],"yoast_head":"\n
