AetherDoors Admin Quick Guide

AetherDoors Admin Quick Guide

This guide is for Royals, admins, and staff helping players with AetherDoors.

Main Admin Commands

/ad admin

Shows admin command help.

/ad admin info

Look at a claimed door and run this to see owner, UUID, location, lock status, trust count, and linked controls.

/ad admin remove

Force-removes the claim from the door you are looking at.

/ad admin unlock

Force-unlocks the claimed door you are looking at.

/ad admin list <player>

Lists all claimed doors owned by a player.

Bypass Mode

Admins do not silently bypass locked doors by default.

To intentionally bypass AetherDoors protection, run:

/ad bypass

Bypass mode lasts for 5 minutes by default.

While bypass is active, staff can open protected doors and break protected AetherDoors blocks.

Run /ad bypass again to turn it off early.

Use bypass mode carefully. For normal cleanup, prefer:

/ad admin remove

instead of breaking a claimed door directly.

Recommended Admin Workflow

If a player needs help with a claimed door:

  1. Look at the door.
  2. Run /ad admin info.
  3. Confirm owner and location.
  4. Use /ad admin unlock if the issue is access-related.
  5. Use /ad admin remove only if the claim needs to be deleted.

Ghost Claims / Missing Blocks

AetherDoors auto-unlinks missing linked controls like buttons, plaques, bells, and button doorbells on startup if cleanup is enabled.

Missing claimed doors are warned about in console but are not automatically deleted. This is intentional to avoid deleting claims from temporarily unloaded worlds.

If a claimed door is truly gone, replace the door at the same location or use:

/ad admin remove

Regular players usually need:

aetherdoors.use
aetherdoors.claim
aetherdoors.lock
aetherdoors.trust
aetherdoors.link
aetherdoors.knock
aetherdoors.ledger
aetherdoors.notices

Safety Notes

AetherDoors protects claimed doors and linked controls from:

  • Player breaking
  • Redstone bypasses
  • Explosions
  • Fire
  • Pistons

If another plugin appears to interfere with doors, test in a controlled area first and check console warnings.
