Piggy Admin

Piggy Admin

A server-side administration mod designed to help manage and enforce settings for compatible client-side mods (like Piggy Build and Piggy Inventory). Currently, it serves as a central point for managing anti-cheat options, logging, and detection, but it will evolve to include more administration tools.

Features

🛡️ Anti-Cheat Enforcement

• Centralized Control: Configure whether “cheat” features (like fast placement, tool swapping) are allowed on your server.
• Automatic Sync: When a player joins, the server’s anti-cheat configuration is automatically sent to their client.
• Strict Enforcement: If the server disables cheats, client-side overrides are ignored, ensuring fair play.
• Granular Control: Enable/disable specific features individually (e.g., allow tool swapping but forbid fast placement).

🕵️ Advanced X-Ray Detection

Piggy Admin uses a multi-layered heuristic engine to detect suspicious mining patterns without false positives from branch mining.

• Ore Cache Manager: Asynchronously tracks valuable ore locations in an efficient ConcurrentHashMap, minimizing main-thread impact.
• Vector Correlation: Uses HeuristicsMathUtil to calculate the mathematical correlation between a player’s look vector and the distance to invisible ores.
• Hybrid Detector: Combines raw mining ratios with semantic analysis of “suspicious turns” and “direct-to-ore” paths.
• Sensitivity Levels: From LOW (relaxed) to PARANOID (strict), configurable via xraySensitivity.
• Admin Alerts: Real-time notifications for admins with clickable teleport links to the suspect’s coordinates.

📜 Forensic Data & Attribution

The mod acts as a powerful investigation tool for griefing.

• Explosion Attribution: Tracks the true owner of TNT, even if sparked by a flint-and-steel, fire charge, or other entities.
• Creeper Ownership: Identifies players who intentionally ignite creepers (using Flint & Steel) to destroy territory.
• Lava & Fire Blame: Specialized trackers for fluid flow and block-fire spread. Even if the original source block is gone, the mod maintains a history of who placed it.
• Dispenser Tracking: Custom mixins at the dispenser level attributes all dispensed projectiles or bucket operations to the player who placed or last interacted with the dispenser.
• Interactive Notifications: AdminNotifier sends rich, hoverable chat components to OPs, allowing for instant “Blame Lookup” directly from an alert.

📜 Moderation Engine

• AI-Powered Moderation: Integrates with Google Gemini AI to automatically filter toxic or inappropriate chat and sign text.
• Dynamic Rule System: Define custom moderation rules and categories (e.g., Profanity, Harassment, Hate Speech).
• Performance Optimized: Includes a high-performance cache and rate-limiting system to minimize API latency and handle free-tier API limits gracefully.
• Hybrid Checking: Combines fast local Regex checks with deep semantic analysis from Gemini.
• Categorized Logs: All blocked messages are logged with their specific category for easy review.

🤖 Gemini AI Setup

To use the AI moderation features, you need a Google Gemini API Key.

1. Get an API Key: Visit the Google AI Studio and create a free API key.
2. Configure the Mod:

• Start the server once to generate the config file.
• Open config/piggy-admin-server.json.
• Paste your key into the "geminiApiKey" field.
• Set "moderationEnabled": true.

1. Advanced Options:

• geminiModel: defaults to gemini-1.5-flash (recommended for speed and cost).
• geminiSystemPrompt: You can customize the AI’s “personality” and strictness here.

[!NOTE]

The free tier of Gemini has rate limits (approx. 15 requests per minute). The mod includes a built-in cache and rate-limiter to handle these limits gracefully without lagging the server.

📜 History & Logging

• Sign History: Tracks who placed a sign and what was written on it.
• Chat History: Logs all chat messages for administrative review.
• Explosion Logging: Detailed logs for TNT placement, ignition, and explosions, including player attribution whenever possible.
• Blame Tool: Inspect existing signs/blocks to see who interacted with them and when.
• Persistent Storage: History survives server restarts (saved to config/piggy-admin-history.json).
