AdvancedSpyInventory is a server plugin for Bukkit, Paper, Spigot and Purpur that lets staff inspect the ender chests and inventories of players and entities. It runs on the server only. Players join as usual and install nothing.
Server software and versions
- Bukkit, Paper, Purpur and Spigot: Minecraft 1.11 to 1.21.11. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What you can inspect
- The inventory of online and offline players.
- The ender chest of online and offline players.
- Player characteristics such as health, location, experience and hunger, which you can also modify, online or not.
- The equipment worn by entities.
- Entity characteristics, such as who tamed an animal, the colour of a sheep or the profession of a villager.
- The inventory of entities that hold one, such as villagers and endermen.
Installation
Place the plugin file in the plugins folder of a server running one of the supported software types, then restart. The guide to installing plugins on a Paper or Spigot server covers the steps. The newest release has no dependencies, so there is no library to add first.
Configuration and permissions
Settings and permission nodes are documented on the plugin's GitHub wiki. Bug reports and suggestions go to the issue tracker there.
The trade-off is that it works on the server side only, so the file must be installed on each server where staff want these views.
Questions about AdvancedSpyInventory.
4 questions
Can AdvancedSpyInventory open the inventory of an offline player?
Yes. The plugin opens both the inventory and the ender chest of players whether they are online or offline. It also shows and lets you change characteristics such as health, location, experience and hunger for offline players, so restrict that access to trusted staff.
Do players need to install AdvancedSpyInventory?
No. It is a server-side plugin only, and the client side is unsupported. You add the file to the plugins folder of your server and restart. Players connect with a normal setup and see nothing to install.
Does AdvancedSpyInventory need other plugins to work?
The newest release requires no dependencies. Builds for the supported software types list no required plugins or libraries, so you can add it to an existing server without installing anything else first.
Can I inspect mobs and villagers with AdvancedSpyInventory?
Yes. It shows the equipment of entities and opens the inventory of entities that hold items, such as villagers and endermen. It also reveals details like who tamed an animal, a sheep's colour or a villager's profession.
