SimpleTrigger

SimpleTrigger (v1.1.1) is a plugin for Minecraft servers (Paper) that adds an interactive trigger system. It allows you to turn any block or the area around it into an “active zone”: when a player enters it, predefined commands are executed automatically.

Key features

• Create triggers that can execute up to 5 commands.
• Place a trigger on a specific block or in an area around it using coordinates and radius.
• Execute commands on behalf of a player or the server (using the ! prefix).
• Use the %player% variable to insert the player’s name.
• Configure everything directly in‑game — no need to edit configuration files.
• Choose the trigger type:
  • Point trigger — activates when a player steps on a specific block.
  • Zone trigger — creates a spherical zone with a specified radius: commands are executed when a player is inside it.
• Set the trigger to activate once or repeatedly (note: repeating triggers are currently not working correctly).
• Compatible with Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.8–1.21.

Use cases

• Teleport players to key locations.
• Reward players with items after they complete tasks.
• Apply status effects (speed, jump boost, etc.) within a specific zone.
• Send welcome messages to new players when they enter a zone.
• Create secret passages and traps based on block activation.
• Organize effect zones (e.g., speed boost, slowdown, invisibility).
• Implement automatic events in a specific map area (welcome banners, mini‑games).

How it works

1. Create a trigger:

/trigger create [name] [max commands] [is zone trigger true/false] [is repeating true/false]

• [name] — the trigger’s name.
• [max commands] — maximum number of commands to execute (up to 5).
• [is zone trigger] — set true for a zone trigger (sphere with a given radius) or false for a point trigger (single block).
• [is repeating] — true for repeated activation, false for one‑time activation. Important: repeating triggers are currently not working correctly.

2. Add commands:

• For a point trigger:

/trigger edit [name] [command 1] [command 2] ...

• For a zone trigger, you must specify the sphere radius (in blocks):

/trigger edit [name] [zone radius as a number] [command 1] [command 2] ...

Important: if your command contains spaces, replace them with the " symbol — the plugin recognizes it as a space.

3. Configure the trigger for a block:

/trigger set [name] <x> <y> <z>

Coordinates <x> <y> <z> define:

• the central point for a point trigger;
• the center of the sphere for a zone trigger.

4. You’re done! When a player:

• steps on the block — a point trigger activates;
• enters the sphere of the specified radius — a zone trigger activates.
  Commands will be executed automatically.

A simple, lightweight, and feature‑rich tool to bring your server to life — no complex settings required.
