Limelight | Stream-Safe & Viewer Tools v1.0.0

Limelight
Limelight is built for anyone who streams or records their server. One command flips on a full privacy bundle, viewers get a real poll they can vote in from a menu, and the streamer can drop a personal clip marker the moment something worth editing happens.

Built for: Streamers, content creators, and any server that wants a clean way to run viewer polls.

Stream-safe mode

/limelight safe turns on a full privacy bundle with one command, and /limelight safe off turns it back off. /limelight status lists exactly what is protected right now. Each protection can also be switched off on its own in the config if a streamer only wants some of them:

• Chat name and tab list name are replaced with a configurable alias.
• The nametag floating above the streamer's head is hidden from other players.
• Coordinate-like numbers are scrubbed from the streamer's own chat, so a base location never gets typed out live on stream.
• The streamer's inventory is protected from admin peek and other inventory viewers.
• Stream-safe mode is remembered across a relog or restart.

Viewer polls

Staff start a poll with a question and up to 5 options, and viewers vote from a menu with live vote counts, or type /limelight vote followed by a number. Votes can be changed before the poll closes if you allow it, and the winning option is announced to everyone when the poll ends. Poll length, option limits, and whether a vote can be changed are all set in the config.

Clip markers
Running /limelight clip drops a personal timestamped marker, with an optional note and the exact world and coordinates, so you know exactly where to look when you sit down to edit later. /limelight clips lists your recent markers. Markers are private to the player who made them, and a short cooldown stops accidental spam.

Staff peek and control panel

/limelight panel opens a menu for staff with the current poll status and how many players are in stream-safe mode right now, one click to replay the setup guide, and one click to reload. /limelight peek <player> opens a read-only view of a player's inventory for moderation, and it is automatically blocked if that player has inventory protection on through stream-safe mode.

Commands

• /limelight (aliases /ll, /lime) opens the staff panel for admins, or shows help.
• /limelight safe [on|off|toggle] turns stream-safe mode on or off.
• /limelight status shows which protections are active.
• /limelight clip [note] drops a personal clip marker.
• /limelight clips lists your recent markers.
• /limelight vote [number] opens the poll menu, or votes directly.
• /limelight poll start <question|option|option|...>, poll end, and poll show run a viewer poll (staff only).
• /limelight peek <player> opens a read-only view of a player's inventory (staff only).
• /limelight panel opens the staff control panel.
• /limelight setup replays the in-game setup guide.

Every command has full tab completion.

Permissions

• limelight.use covers stream-safe mode, clips, and voting. Default: everyone.
• limelight.admin covers the panel, starting and ending polls, peek, and reload. Default: operators.

Configuration
config.yml turns each stream-safe protection on or off individually, sets the alias name, the coordinate redaction text, poll option limits and duration bounds, the clip cap per player, cooldowns, and toggle/vote/clip sounds. messages.yml has every player-facing line with full MiniMessage support. Run /limelight reload to apply changes without a restart.

• Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit.
• Java 21.
