“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”
—Hans Hofmann

Main Menu
You can add the name of your server in the configuration and your server's name will replace "MinecraftServer" in the menu to give it a more personalized look. The main menu can be accessed by using the /clan command and will show the player only the commands he has access to at any given time.

• Untrusted members of clans have basic commands
• Trusted members of clans have advanced commands
• Leaders of clans have clan administration commands
• Mods have access to global commands
• Unverified clans have a restricted command list
• Verified clans have an unrestricted command list
• Leaders of verified clans have all clan functionality
• Leaders of verified clans that are also mods have the full set (seen below)

Clan Types
There are two types of clans, verified and unverified clans. When a player first creates a clan it will be of type unverified. These clans have a reduced feature set, no coords, vitals, stats, etc, they will not show up on any clan listings, and are automatically deleted if none of its members log in for 48 hours (configurable). Their purpose is to give your members quick and easy teaming up abilities without polluting your server with dozens of abandoned one off clans.

Once one of your moderators can verify that the clan is legit, it can be upgraded by a mod it to verified status with /clan verify. At this point the clan and its members will be able to enjoy the full feature set of the SimpleClans plugin. Verified clans have an inactivity timer of 7 days (configurable), this means if noone logs in that belongs to the clan for a week it is automatically deleted.

Optionally you can disable the clan verification feature in the config to make it so newly created clans are automatically verified.


Creating your first Clan
To create a clan you must give it a name and a tag. The tag will be used as the unique identifier for you clan, will be used in the clan commands, and will pretty much represent your clan in most messages. This tag can have color codes which can be later modified. For example, If i wanted to create a clan named "Knights of the Labyrinth" with a red and white tag named "kol", I would use the following create command:

/clan create &4K&Fo&4l Knights of the Labyrinth

Later on if I wanted to modify this tag, for example I wanted to make it all red instead of red and white and all uppercase I would use the modtag command. Note: with the modtag command you can only change colors and case, but not the letters that make up the tag

/clan modtag &4KOL

The colored tag will prefix all clan player's names on chat, don't worry it works alongside your existing prefixes and chat plugins.



Staff, GBH, Tol, are clans in this screenshot.


Inviting Members
Creators of clans will become the first clan leader. They can invite other members into the clan with /clan invite. These members are first added with the untrusted status. These members will not be able to view clan vitals, coords, or stats. This is to prevent players form joining clans just to spy on other clans by writing down coordinates of bases or viewing vitals during battles. Once a player has gained the clan's trust he can be upgraded to trusted status with /clan trust.

You can have multiple leaders on a clan. You can promote other leaders using the /clan promote command. To promote a leader all other leaders must be online and must accept the vote. A leader cannot be promoted unilaterally without the consent of all other leaders. Demotion using the /clan demote command works the same way.

A moderator can completely ban a player form ever joining any clans with the /clan ban/unban command.

Clan Chat
To talk in clan chat use /. [your message]. It's super simple.


Clan Alliances and Rivalries
Any clan leader can send an request to start an alliance with any other clan with /clan ally add. If the request is accepted by a leader of the second clan, the alliance is formed. The alliance can be broken by any leader of either clan at any time with /clan ally remove, no one needs to accept the removal of an alliance.

Clan rivalries can be started by any clan at any time, no request is needed, rivalries are automatically formed once a clan leader decides he wants one by using
