Even Better Server Guardian

A server-side Fabric mod that bundles essential admin and moderation tools into one JAR. Each feature can be independently enabled or disabled in a single config file. No client mod required.

Features

Player Watchlist

Silently flag suspicious players. Ops receive in-game notifications whenever a watched player does anything notable.

Tracked events: chat messages, commands run, rapid block breaks, container opens

Commands:

• /watch add <player> — start monitoring
• /watch remove <player> — stop monitoring
• /watch list — list all currently watched players
• /watch log <player> — show last 50 events for that player

Event history is stored in config/serverguard/watchlist.json (rolling last 100 events per player).

TPS Guard

Monitors server TPS every N ticks. When it drops below the configured threshold, identifies the likely cause and notifies ops.

Alert format:

[ServerGuard] TPS: 14.2 — Hotspot: chunk [−32, 80], 847 entities

Commands:

• /tpsguard status — current TPS + top 3 entity-heavy chunks

Config (config/serverguard.json)

{ "watchlist": { "enabled": true }, "tpsGuard": { "enabled": true, "alertThreshold": 17.0, "checkIntervalTicks": 100 } }

Reload without restart: /serverguard reload
