Another simple set of Admin Tools

[tahosa]

Since FTB is not running Bukkit, and so missing many of the useful tools like /lag and other monitoring tools to see tickrates and other useful information, I decided to build a quick set of simple, lightweight tools to do some of that.

ForgeTools aims to provide some useful simple statistics and tools to server ops to monitor server tickrate, loose items, mobs, and a handful of other useful data points. It also enables ops to quickly clean up areas with lots of drops, and heal players. The mod is currently set up to be server-side only, so no additional modification is required past the Forge base. This means it will not work for Vanilla servers, but will work for Feed The Beast servers.

We are currently in an open alpha and would appreciate any and all feedback about features you would like to see or any bugs you encounter as you use ForgeTools. We are also trying to follow the development of Feed The Beast, so our current release is only for MC 1.4.2 since that is the version that FTB is running. This mod is ready to be installed onto your FTB server to begin using right away. If there is demand for other versions, please let us know and we will take it into consideration. As the mods for FTB are all almost complete, we should be keeping with the same development schedule as vanilla.

If you would like to become a contributor, please drop me a PM with an example of your code and a little bit about you. We are happy to have more people work with us on this project. It is open source, so feel free to dig through the code and make any suggestions.

Features

This mod adds in commands currently only usable by ops, but we are looking to make them configurable to be used however the server owner sees fit and would appreciate input on this.

Commands

See the github page for full details

Would really like to see some teleport commands, both on the server and user end. Commands such as /warp <warp name> and /setwarp or /home are always nice to have. Are you planning on doing a permission system?

i think fingu has that but i belive this is more for
admins to get usefull tools to help maintain a server

Alias, we aren't really looking at any TP type stuff for now, but it's been thrown around as a possibility. For now, we want to focus on tools to help maintain stability and identify sources of lag. As far as permission goes, we would like to implement them, but I am hesitant to write my own permissions structure since there is rumor that PermissionsEX is getting ported to Forge, as well as that Forge is looking to build in permissions to their API. Hopefully soon (next week) there will be some basic permissions based on whether a player is op or not that you can open up certain commands to all players, just ops, or no one.

An announcements function would be great. It would help communicate to all the members of your server. I was thinking something similar to the /say or /broadcast, but on a timer. That way you could repeat a few messages every so many min. Plus a mail system.

Would like to see a way of checking players inventories and checking who has edited/moved blocks in the world.
