MWeb - File Sharing
by MUtils
MWeb - File Sharing lets server staff share server files with players through web links that can be restricted, timed and limited.
What it does
Staff create links to folders or single files on the server, and each link can be limited by IP address, user, passphrase, time or number of uses. Players can also receive folders and archives directly, including a resource pack that the server can require them to use. Everything is controlled through an in-game GUI and a command interface.
Inside the GUI, operators can browse server files, zip and unzip folders, rename or delete files, and toggle or edit existing links. Folders can be defined for uploads, with restrictions similar to those on file sharing. A custom web server response setting and proxy support for setups such as nginx are covered in the mod's config. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt, for 20 release versions, 1.18 – 1.21.4, and requires Fabric API and Silk. It runs on the server, and the code is under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
Key features
Restricted share links
Links can be limited by IP address, user, passphrase, time or number of uses, and created per folder or file.
In-game file browser
Operators browse server files in a GUI, with file size, type and last edited path shown next to each item.
Archives and resource packs
Folders can be zipped and unzipped in game, and sent to players as archives or as a forced resource pack.
Permissions
Actions can be restricted by permission nodes, and operators bypass those checks, so a separate permission manager is advised.
