✨ Why HeliosAdmin?

HeliosAdmin replaces 5–6 separate plugins (essentials, ban systems, homes/warps, kits, backups) with one unified plugin that shares data, permissions, audit logs, and storage with every other Helios plugin via HeliosCore.

✅ Drop-in replacement for EssentialsX • LuckPerms-ready • Adventure / MiniMessage native

📋 Requirements

⚠️ HeliosCore is required. HeliosAdmin will not start without it. After installing HeliosCore for the first time, you must run /hcore setup before HeliosAdmin's dashboard features will work.

📥 Installation

1. Drop HeliosCore-x.y.z.jar     →  plugins/
2. Drop HeliosAdmin-x.y.z.jar    →  plugins/
3. Start the server (data folders & configs auto-generate)
4. Run  /hcore setup             (initialise dashboard owner — REQUIRED)
5. Edit plugins/HeliosAdmin/config.yml to taste
6. Run  /hadmin reload
7. (Optional) Configure your permission plugin — see Permissions below

That's it. Every command and permission node is registered automatically.

🎮 Commands

Aliases: /hadmin • /ha • /nadmin • /na • /heliosadmin • /ninezadmin

🔐 Permissions

HeliosAdmin uses a clean, hierarchical permission tree that drops straight into LuckPerms, GroupManager, PermissionsEx, or vanilla op.

🌳 Hierarchy

heliosadmin.admin                 (default: op)  ━ grants EVERYTHING
└── heliosadmin.command.all                       ━ all leaf nodes below
    ├── heliosadmin.command.<each-command>
    ├── heliosadmin.home.use      / heliosadmin.home.set
    ├── heliosadmin.warp.use      / heliosadmin.warp.manage
    ├── heliosadmin.spawn.use     / heliosadmin.command.setspawn
    ├── heliosadmin.tpa
    ├── heliosadmin.kit.use       / heliosadmin.kit.manage
    └── heliosadmin.command.backup

🎁 Player Defaults (granted to everyone out of the box)

• ✅ heliosadmin.home.use • heliosadmin.home.set
• ✅ heliosadmin.warp.use
• ✅ heliosadmin.spawn.use
• ✅ heliosadmin.tpa
• ✅ heliosadmin.kit.use

Everything else defaults to false — staff opt-in only.

🌐 Web Dashboard

HeliosAdmin contributes a page to the HeliosCore live dashboard. From your browser you can:

• 📡 Stream real-time audit logs via SSE
• 💾 Create, list, delete, and restore world backups with one click
• 👥 See live server status and player counts
• 🔒 Access role-gated actions (OWNER / ADMIN / STAFF) configured in config.yml

💡 First-time setup: run /hcore setup to create the dashboard owner account. The dashboard will display a coloured prompt if you haven't done this yet.
