Administration

Moderation tools, admin commands, and server-wide team management.

Admin Commands

/team adminkick <player> admin
Kick any player from their current team, regardless of your team membership or rank.
/team disband <team> admin
Force-disband any team by name. All members are notified.
/team setleader <team> <player> admin
Transfer leadership of any team. The target must already be a member. The old leader is demoted to Member.
/team reload admin
Reload config.yml and messages.yml without a server restart.

Bypass Permissions

The simpleteams.admin.bypass permission allows staff to:

  • Join closed teams without an invite
  • Ignore team membership limits where applicable

This is useful for event staff or moderators who need to inspect or join any team.

Storage & Backups

All team data is stored in plugins/SimpleTeams/teams.yml. To back up:

  1. Run /team reload to ensure all data is flushed to disk
  2. Copy teams.yml to your backup location

The file is human-readable and can be edited manually while the server is stopped. Invalid entries are skipped with a console warning on load.

Update Checking

SimpleTeams checks Modrinth for updates on startup. This can be disabled in config:

update-checker:
  enabled: false

When an update is found, a message is sent to the console and to online players with simpleteams.admin.reload.
