A complete Minecraft clan system for Spigot/Paper servers focused on scalability, privacy, progression, stats, and competitive gameplay.


Minecraft Clan Plugin • Spigot & Paper • YAML / SQLite / MariaDB • Multilingual • PlaceholderAPI • Alliances • Clan Economy • Leaderboards


Overview
VanguardClans is a full-featured Minecraft clan plugin designed for Spigot and Paper.
It provides everything needed to create, manage, and scale clans in Survival, SMP, RPG, BoxPvP, and FullPvP servers.

Main goals:
• Structured clan management (roles, invites, privacy)
• Competitive systems (KDA, points, leaderboards)
• Growth & progression (slots, upgrades, economy)
• Privacy and anti-abuse tools (nametags, anti-multiaccount)
• Server-friendly performance (async operations, caching, database support)



Core Systems (What the plugin offers)

Clan Management
• Public/private clans with invite-only access for private clans
• Member management (invite, kick, leave, resign, disband)
• Clan home system (set, teleport, remove) with configurable cooldowns/delays
• Clan chat (toggle or send direct messages)

Alliances & Friendly Fire
• Alliance request/accept/decline/remove flow
• Friendly fire toggle inside the clan
• Friendly fire toggle with allied clans
• Auto-expiring invites (default: 5 minutes)

Progression, Slots & Economy
• Clan slot caps and slot upgrade system
• Costs configurable (points/economy-based)
• Clan bank: deposit & withdraw with leader restriction
• Progress designed for long-term server engagement

Stats, KDA & Leaderboards
• Tracks kills, deaths, KDA, points, balance, and members
• Top command for KDA/points/money/members (paginated)
• Placeholder-ready leaderboard output for scoreboards, TAB lists, and GUIs

Nametag Privacy
• Internal scoreboard-based nametags
• Optional integrations: TAB / UnlimitedNametags
• Privacy modes (hide/obfuscate/reset) + bypass permissions

Anti-Multiaccount
• IP-based limits to mitigate clan creation abuse
• Configurable thresholds and bypass controls
• Intended for public servers with heavy join traffic

Localization
• Fully editable language files
• Unlimited languages
• Default English and Spanish
• Live switching via admin command (no restart required)

Storage & Performance
• YAML for small servers/testing
• SQLite for single-server setups
• MariaDB + HikariCP for large servers/networks
• Storage-agnostic design with migrations/repairs and cache tools
