Replay System

The replay system delivers studio-grade match recordings without any compromise on server performance. It is deeply integrated into the game itself — recording starts when the match starts and stops when it ends, with zero commands and zero configuration.

#What it captures

• Automatic recording — every match is captured, named and tagged with arena, mode and date.
• Complete event capture — movement, blocks, hits, kills, bed breaks and pickups, all recorded.
• Frame-accurate playback — admins scrub, pause, rewind and fast-forward while the world rebuilds exactly as it appeared live.
• Staff review toolkit — X-ray mode for invisible players, hitbox visualization for reach checks, inventory overlays, adjustable speed and a smart follow-cam that locks onto the last attacker.
• Smart retention — recordings older than a configurable age are pruned automatically; important matches can be flagged to keep forever. Ranked matches are retained longer by default.
• Portable evidence — recordings are self-contained files that can be reviewed on any server running the replay engine, so cheat reports are decided on irrefutable evidence, not guesses.
• Zero configuration, zero regret — enabled by default, autodetects optimal storage, and begins recording silently.

#The replays menu

The replays menu lists every recorded match with its full metadata — game mode, map, duration, server and player count — visible at a glance in the hover tooltip before watching. One left-click plays the replay; a right-click favorites it, so important evidence never gets auto-deleted.

#Configuration and requirements

Every tunable is exposed in replay.yml for advanced setups. The replay add-on uses SlimeWorldManager for replay worlds; when SlimeWorldManager is absent, the replay add-on gracefully auto-disables itself and the rest of the plugin keeps running untouched.
