Overview

What is SimpleTeams?

SimpleTeams is a ground-up team management system for Minecraft servers. It ships with 20+ commands, a rank hierarchy, invite management, team chat, and fully configurable YAML storage.

Every feature is designed for clarity: team data lives in a single readable teams.yml, chat formatting uses native MiniMessage components, and the plugin targets modern Paper 1.17+ APIs without legacy baggage.

No Database Required All data is stored in flat YAML. Back up your teams by copying one file. Reload configs instantly with /team reload.

Requirements

Java 17 or newer
Paper 1.17+, Purpur 1.17+, or Spigot 1.17+
No hard dependencies — MiniMessage and Adventure are bundled on Paper
Optional integrations: bStats, FastStats

Tip Paper or Purpur is strongly recommended for full async chat event support and MiniMessage compatibility.
