Admin Operations

Admin Operations

This page is for staff who operate VortexEnchantments on a live server.

Daily Checks

• Watch console after startup.
• Confirm Vault economy hooks if using /ve shop.
• Check that player data saves cleanly.
• Review reports of broken enchant combinations.
• Keep an eye on mob farm reward rates.

Safe Reload Process

Use:

/ve reload

Good reload candidates:

• Message edits.
• Small price changes.
• Drop chance tuning.
• Minor system toggles.

Restart instead for:

• Jar updates.
• Dependency changes.
• Major YAML restructuring.
• Platform changes.
• Permission plugin changes.

Giving Items

Use admin give commands for support tickets, crate rewards, and testing.

Examples:

/ve give Sauron sharpness 1
/ve scroll give Sauron LEGENDARY
/ve dust give Sauron EPIC 16
/ve slotincreaser give Sauron 2 1

Replace example enchant ids with actual Vortex enchant ids from /ve list or /ve search.

Backup Policy

Back up before:

• Updating the jar.
• Editing many enchant files.
• Changing storage settings.
• Running economy-wide balancing changes.
• Resetting player data.

Minimum backup targets:

plugins/VortexEnchantments/

Staff Permissions

Do not give all admin commands to moderators by default.

Recommended split:

• Moderators: browser/info/support commands.
• Senior staff: item give commands.
• Admins: reload, admin GUI, full item management.
