Sentry

Staff tools for Paper servers on a Bridge network: mod mode, vanish, freeze, reports, notes, staff chat and Polar anticheat alerts.

What Sentry is

Sentry is the staff toolkit for Paper servers on a Bridge network. It comes with Bridge and is not sold on its own.

It runs on your Paper servers only. Nothing goes on the Velocity proxy.

What it adds

  • Mod mode. /staffmode swaps your inventory for staff tools, blocks building and fighting, and shows a staff sidebar. See Mod mode and vanish.
  • Vanish. Hide from players and from lower-ranked staff, with optional vanish on join.
  • Freeze. Lock a player in place while you check them, with a reminder to join your Discord. See Freeze.
  • Reports and help requests. Players report from a category menu or ask for help with /helpop. Staff on every server get an alert. See Reports and help requests.
  • Notes. Private staff notes on a player's profile.
  • Staff and admin chat. Two chat channels shared across your Paper servers. See Notes and staff chat.
  • Anticheat alerts. If your servers run the Polar anticheat, Sentry turns its detections into alerts for staff on every server and keeps a log per player. See Anticheat alerts.

What stays on one server

Some tools only cover the server you are on:

  • Mod mode, vanish and freeze apply on the current server. Switching servers or logging out ends them.
  • /onlinestaff and the mod mode staff list show staff on the current server only.
  • /report, /freeze and /vanish <player> only find players on the same server as you.

Reports, help requests, freeze alerts, staff chat and anticheat alerts reach staff on every Paper server running Sentry.

Requirements

  • A working Bridge network. See Bridge requirements.
  • Kernel, Bridge and packetevents on each Paper server that runs Sentry.
  • Optional: the Polar anticheat, only for anticheat alerts. Everything else works without it.
