Perfect for server information, links, shortcuts, rules, and other small server-specific commands.

💾 Flexible Data Storage

Paradigm can store server data using multiple storage providers.

JSON
SQLite
MySQL / MariaDB

Storage status, connection testing, fallback state, and migration dry runs are available directly from the dashboard.

Existing data can be migrated between supported storage providers with conflict handling and migration previews.

🎀 Modular by Design

Don't need part of Paradigm? Turn it off.

Modules and command families can be configured individually, and built-in command roots can be enabled or disabled through the dashboard.

Paradigm is designed to grow with your server instead of forcing one specific setup.

📦 Installation

Install the supported Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge version for your Minecraft server.
Download the matching Paradigm .jar.
Place it in your server's mods folder.
Start the server.

Paradigm will generate its configuration and data files automatically.

For Fabric versions, Fabric API may be required depending on the Minecraft version.

🖥️ Opening the Dashboard

Run:

/paradigm dashboard open

Paradigm creates a secure one-time login link for the local dashboard.

The dashboard is bound locally by default. Remote access should only be configured when you understand the security implications of exposing an administration interface.

📖 Commands

Paradigm contains quite a few commands now. Like... a lot. qwq

Use:

/paradigm help

for built-in help and module information.

The dashboard also includes searchable command settings for enabling or disabling built-in command roots.
