Bridge
Ranks, grants, punishments, network chat, disguises and proxy tools for Paper servers behind a Velocity proxy, backed by Catalyst.
What Bridge is
Bridge is the core of a Scala network. It keeps ranks, grants, punishments, tags and player profiles in Catalyst, the backend service, so every Paper server and your Velocity proxy read the same records.
Bridge comes with Toolkit and Sentry. Kernel and Stash, which Bridge runs on, are included too.
What it adds
| Area | What you get |
|---|---|
| Ranks | Weighted ranks with a colour, prefix, separate prefix for older clients, suffix, inheritance and permissions per scope. Edit them in a menu or with /rank. See Ranks and tags. |
| Grants | Give a rank for a set time or for good, on the whole network, a server group or one server. See Grants. |
| Punishments | Warn, kick, mute, ban and blacklist from commands or a menu, with silent punishments and a history menu. See Punishments. |
| Chat | Public chat shared between servers in the same group, /alert, mute and slow chat, and a chat filter. See Chat. |
| Disguises | /disguise with a random or chosen name, rank and skin. See Disguises. |
| Proxy and network | Login checks, maintenance mode, MOTDs, staff join and leave notices, /servers, /hub, /jump and an audit log. See Proxy and network. |
