DaSFreezer

Don't have an icon yet, i'm bad at texturing.

A comprehensive player freezing plugin for PaperMC servers. DaSFreezer allows server staff to completely immobilize players, preventing all movement and interactions - perfect for moderation, investigations, and roleplay scenarios.

Features

• Freeze players in place, preventing all movement and interactions
• Persistent freeze state across server restarts and player reconnects
• Visual feedback with titles and action bar messages
• Teleports frozen players back to their exact freeze location on rejoin
• Supports freezing offline players (they will be frozen when they log back in)
• Permission-based command system
• Lightweight and performant

What Gets Blocked When Frozen

When a player is frozen, the following actions are prevented:

• All movement (walking, running, jumping)
• Block breaking and placing
• Interacting with blocks (chests, doors, buttons, etc.)
• Interacting with entities (players, mobs, item frames, etc.)
• Dropping items
• Inventory interactions
• Attacking entities
• Any form of teleportation or position changes

Requirements

• PaperMC 1.21.11 or newer
• Java 21 or newer

How It Works

When a player is frozen:

• Their exact location is saved
• A large red "FROZEN" title appears on their screen
• They receive an action bar reminder every 2 seconds
• Any attempt to move teleports them back to the freeze location
• All interactions are blocked
• The freeze persists even if they disconnect and reconnect

When a player is unfrozen:

• All restrictions are removed
• Visual effects are cleared
• They can move and interact normally again

Use Cases

• Staff investigations and moderation
• Preventing players from escaping during rule violations
• Roleplay scenarios requiring player restraint
• Holding players in place during events or trials
• Preventing movement during server maintenance or announcements

Data Storage

Frozen player data is stored in plugins/DaSFreezer/frozen_players.yml and persists across server restarts. This ensures that frozen players remain frozen even if the server crashes or restarts unexpectedly.
