Proper Rules List for Servers

by AlzAlz123

Proper Rules List for Servers lets server owners publish a rules list that players open by typing a trigger word in chat.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.16 – 1.21.11

What it does

Server owners write the rules themselves, and players read them by typing a trigger in chat. The mod is installed on the server, and the rules are stored in a data pack folder inside the world's datapacks directory. A server that cannot run mods can use the same content as a plain data pack. Required on the server; client optional. Builds cover 1.16 – 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is not open source (All rights reserved).

Key features

  1. Chat trigger

    Players open the rules list by typing a trigger word in the chat window.

  2. Editable rules text

    The rules are written in a function file inside the data pack, so the owner edits the wording directly.

  3. Data pack packaging

    The folder is compressed into a ZIP with pack.mcmeta and placed in the world's datapacks folder.

Questions

Does a player need the mod installed?

No. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.

Why does the author recommend the data pack instead?

The author notes the data pack is easier to configure and install on vanilla servers, and the same rules file works without a mod loader.

What the author says

So if you have a server that needs a proper rules and information list, you are right here. Players can easily open the rules list by typing /trigger rules on the chat. Step 2: Extract the pack in a folder. (The datapack is recommended because it is not easy to extract a mod.)
