CuriosPaper

✦ CuriosPaper ✦

The Ultimate Custom Accessory Inventory System for Paper & Spigot

Rings · Necklaces · Capes · Crowns · Belts · Charms — and more.
Fully server-side. No mods required. Bedrock Edition compatible. Powerful developer API.

---

Think of it as Baubles / Curios — but for Paper & Spigot, with 3D models, loot tables, GUI editors, Bedrock container support, and a full plugin API.

🧩 What is CuriosPaper?

CuriosPaper adds a complete accessory slot system to your Minecraft server. Players can equip rings, necklaces, capes, belts, charms, and more through a clean, tiered GUI — with full support for Java and Bedrock Edition players.

⚡ Features

🎒 Core Accessory System

🎨 3D Model System

Attach custom 3D models directly to the player's body when accessories are equipped. Models are rendered using synchronized invisible armor stands — visible to all nearby players.

• 🔄 Tracks player movement, rotation, sneaking, swimming, flying, and spectator mode
• 👁️ Smart visibility culling — hide models from wearer's first-person view or during flight/dismount
• 🔱 Trident & Elytra compatibility — models auto-hide during throws, riptide, and elytra flight
• 🧟 Mob models — mobs can visually wear items they'll drop
• 🎮 Per-item toggle — players can right-click to show/hide their models
• 🚪 GUI Dismount Protection — models temporarily dismount when opening inventories to prevent visual overlap

🛠️ In-Game GUI Editors

Create and configure everything visually — no manual YAML editing required:

📦 Item Distribution

🔌 Developer API

A comprehensive API for other plugins to integrate with CuriosPaper:

CuriosPaperAPI api = CuriosPaper.getInstance().getCuriosPaperAPI();

// Tag any item as an accessory
ItemStack ring = api.tagAccessoryItem(myItem, "ring");

// Check what a player is wearing
List<ItemStack> rings = api.getEquippedItems(player, "ring");
boolean hasRing = api.hasEquippedItems(player, "ring");
int count = api.countEquippedItems(player, "ring");

// Register slots, items, recipes, loot tables at runtime
api.registerSlot("earring", "Earring", "DIAMOND", 2);
api.registerItemLootTable("my_ring", new LootTableData("minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon", 0.25));
api.setItemModelConfig("my_cape", true, "LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR", null, "myplugin:cape", 45f, 30f);

// Contribute resource pack assets from your plugin's JAR
api.registerResourcePackAssetsFromJar(myPlugin);

🔧 Compatibility

*Folia support is experimental

🌐 Geyser & Bedrock Edition Support

CuriosPaper provides full GUI slot icon and custom container support for Bedrock Edition players joining via GeyserMC.

• Automatic Setup: If Geyser is running on the same server, CuriosPaper will automatically detect Geyser's folder on startup, extract the mappings and resource pack, and copy them directly to Geyser's packs/ and custom_mappings/ folders.
• Custom Bedrock GUIs (Anvil & Smithing): Bedrock players get dedicated 3-row chest interfaces for Anvils (repair, rename, combine) and Smithing Tables (supports 1.20+ Netheriite templates and legacy recipes).
• Manual Setup (Proxy/Separate Server):
  1. Retrieve files from your server's plugins/CuriosPaper/geyser/ directory.
  2. Copy CuriosPaper_Geyser.zip into your Geyser packs/ folder.
  3. Copy CuriosPaper_mappings.json into your Geyser custom_mappings/ folder.
  4. Ensure enable-custom-content is set to true in Geyser's config.yml and restart Geyser.

📥 Quick Start

# 1. Download CuriosPaper.jar from Modrinth or GitHub Releases
# 2. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder
# 3. Start the server
# 4. Done! Use /baubles in-game

First Accessory in 60 Seconds

/curios create speed_ring          # Create a new item

In the GUI: set the name, material, slot type → add a Speed ability → add a recipe → done.

/curios give speed_ring             # Get the item
/baubles                          # Open accessory menu

Place it in a ring slot — Speed I activates! 🏃

📖 Documentation

🆕 What's New in v2.0.1

• 📱 Bedrock Anvil & Smithing GUIs — Dedicated 3-row chest interfaces for Bedrock Edition players to access Anvil (combining, repairing, renaming with XP cost) and Smithing Tables (1.20+ templates & legacy smithing).
• 📊 Attribute Modifier Operations — Configure player modifier abilities with specific operations: ADD_NUMBER (flat value), ADD_SCALAR (percentage %), and MULTIPLY_SCALAR_1 (multiplier x).
• ✈️ Flight & Spectator Model Auto-Hiding — ArmorStand 3D models automatically hide when players toggle flight (isFlying), enter spectator mode, or enter special poses (SWIMMING, FALL_FLYING, SPIN_ATTACK).
• 🚪 Inventory Dismount Safety — 3D models temporarily dismount when opening inventories and auto-remount 2 ticks after close to eliminate visual GUI overlaps.
• 🛠️ Flexible Server Version Parsing — Improved version parsing regex in VersionUtil for non-standard Paper dev builds (e.g. 26.2.build.48-alpha).
• 💬 Command & GUI Improvements — Fixed give command messaging targeting and case-insensitive color-stripped GUI title matching.
