🎀 Modular by Design
Don't need part of Paradigm? Turn it off.
Modules and commands can be configured individually, and built-in command roots can be enabled or disabled through the dashboard or in json config.
📦 Installation
- Install the supported Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge version for your Minecraft server.
- Download the matching Paradigm
.jar. - Place it in your server's
modsfolder. - Start the server.
Paradigm will generate its configuration and data files automatically.
For Fabric versions, dont forget Fabric API. (If you are using downloaded fabric modpack, the API will be there already)
🖥️ Opening the Dashboard
Run:
/paradigm dashboard open
Paradigm creates a secure one-time login link for the local dashboard.
The dashboard is bound locally by default. Remote access should only be configured when you understand the security implications of exposing an administration interface.
📖 Commands
Paradigm contains quite a few commands now. Like... a lot. qwq
Use:
/paradigm help
for built-in help and module information.
The dashboard also includes searchable command settings for enabling or disabling built-in command roots.
