One Mod, all the features you need

> Paradigm started because I needed a simple announcement mod for Forge (Thats why, older files are named "ForgeAnnouncements"). > > Then I needed another feature, and another. And eventually I got tired of installing a bunch of different mods just to do different things, each with its own configs, commands and way of working. > > So Paradigm slowly became the mod I wanted to have from the start: server administration, communication and automation in one place. > > And lately, that is also part of the goal. Give smaller servers and networks access to the kind of tools you usually see on much bigger modded networks, without needing a whole team of developers behind them.


Local Server/Network Dashboard

Paradigm includes a built-in local web dashboard for server administration and configuration.

  • Configuration editors for each module

No external panel required. It runs with your server all localy.
