Simple Server Transfer

Simple Server Transfer is a Paper and Spigot plugin that redirects players to a configured server the moment they join, using the vanilla Transfer packet introduced in Minecraft 1. 20. 5. No BungeeCord, no Velocity, no proxy software required.

🔌 How It Works When a player connects, the plugin schedules a transfer after a configurable tick delay and fires the vanilla Transfer packet to send them to your configured destination. The destination server receives a normal vanilla transfer and handles it natively — no special software needed on that end beyond `accepts-transfers: true` in `paper-global.yml`.

✨ Features

Transfer - Vanilla Transfer packet — no proxy software required on either end - Configurable delay between join and transfer (in ticks) - Separate transfer target for Bedrock players via Geyser + Floodgate

Server Presentation - Hide online and max player count in the server list (Paper only) - Suppress join and quit broadcast messages

World Control - Lock the day/night cycle - Lock weather

Player Restrictions - Block chat while players wait to be transferred - Block commands while players wait (ops are exempt)

Server Limiter ⚙️ An optional mode designed for servers that exist solely as a transfer relay. When enabled it suppresses mob spawning, entity damage, hunger drain, block breaking and placing, block and entity interaction, item dropping, and world auto-saving — reducing server load to the absolute minimum needed to accept a connection and fire the transfer.

📋 Requirements - Java 21 (Java 25 for the Paper 26. 1.x release) - `accepts-transfers: true` must be set in `paper-global.yml` on the destination server - Geyser and Floodgate are only required if Bedrock support is enabled in the config

⚙️ Configuration Everything is controlled through `config.yml`, which is generated on first run and fully documented with inline comments. The `proxy-mode` option acts as a master switch — when set to `false` the plugin does absolutely nothing.

A full server restart is required for any config changes to take effect. `/reload` is not supported and will not work correctly.

🔓 Open Source Simple Server Transfer is fully open source. The source code, including both the normal and shaded jar, is available on (https://github.com/darkflareplays8/Simple-Server-Transfer).
