CodeClaim

Overview

CodeClaim lets server administrators create redeemable codes that reward players with any server command — give items, Pokemon, broadcast titles, and more. Each player can only redeem each code once, and each code can have a global usage limit. All data is stored in simple JSON files with no external database setup required.

Features

• Any player can use /claim without operator permissions
• Each player can only redeem each code once, enforced by UUID
• Per-code global usage limit via max_uses
• Set max_uses: -1 for unlimited redemptions
• Execute any server command as a reward using %player% as a placeholder
• All data auto-saves to a local JSON file
• Hot-reload config and data without restarting the server
• Server-side only — players do not need to install anything

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• Fabric Loader 0.15.0 or later
• Fabric API 0.102.0+1.21.1
• Java 21

3. Place the file in your server’s mods/ folder alongside Fabric API
4. Start the server — the config file will be automatically generated at config/codeclaim.json

Field Reference

| Field | Description |
|——-|————-|
| max_uses | Maximum total redemptions across all players. -1 means unlimited. |
| commands | List of server commands to execute when the code is successfully redeemed. |
| %player% | Placeholder replaced with the redeeming player’s username at runtime. |
| {code} | Placeholder replaced with the entered code in message strings. |
| &a, &c | Standard Minecraft color codes supported in all message fields. |

Data Storage

Player redemption history is automatically saved to:

data/codeclaim_data.json

This file tracks which players have redeemed which codes, and the total usage count per code. Back up this file regularly to preserve redemption history across server migrations.
