📢 Overview

Craft Anywhere. Reduce Lag. Monetize Convenience.

Every Survival, SkyBlock, or RPG server faces the same problem: Lag caused by thousands of TileEntities.
Players place hundreds of furnaces and hoppers just to smelt items, draining your server's TPS.

OmniStation is the ultimate solution. It provides 11+ Virtual Workstations that players can carry in their inventory and open instantly—without placing a single block.

Unlike simple "command-opening" plugins, OmniStation simulates true background logic. Virtual Furnaces continue to cook items even when the GUI is closed, and players must craft these special "Cloud Items" using recipes you define.

It’s the perfect perk for VIP Ranks or a high-level gameplay feature to keep your server running at 20 TPS.

💎 Why OmniStation?

Most virtual plugins just open a GUI. OmniStation creates a Physical-Digital Hybrid experience.

• True Simulation: Virtual Furnaces, Blast Furnaces, and Smokers process items in the background using a highly optimized ticking system. The progress bar (arrow) moves in real-time.

• Item-Based Access: Players don't just type commands. They craft "Portable Items" (e.g., a Cloud Workbench) that act as keys.

• Anti-Place Protection: These portable items look like blocks but cannot be placed. Right-clicking them opens the interface instantly.

• Full JSON Customization: You have 100% control over the crafting recipes, item names, lore, and glow effects via simple JSON files.

✨ Key Features

🔥 True Background Smelting:
Furnaces run in memory, not in the world. Players can start smelting, close the menu, go mining, and come back to finished goods. Zero TileEntity updates.

🛠️ 11 Supported Workstations:
Includes Workbench, Anvil, Enchanting Table, Stonecutter, Grindstone, Loom, Cartography Table, Smithing Table, Ender Chest, and more.

📜 Custom JSON Recipes:
Want to make the "Portable Anvil" hard to get? You can define the crafting recipe using a simple JSON format. (Default: Surround the block with Paper).

🔒 Smart NBT Protection:
Portable items are secured with NBT data. Players cannot place them on the ground, preventing griefing or loss of items.

🚀 Paper 1.20+ Optimized:
Built natively for modern Minecraft versions. Uses the latest API for maximum performance and stability.

📜 Commands & Permissions

Manage access easily with permissions. Perfect for monetizing specific tools (e.g., selling access to the Virtual Anvil).

Permission Examples:

• omnistation.use.furnace (Allows use of Virtual Furnace)

• omnistation.use.workbench (Allows use of Virtual Workbench)

• omnistation.admin (Allows reloading and bypassing checks)

⚙️ Configuration & Recipes

1. Easy Configuration (config.yml)

Control the basics, messages, and performance settings.

  anvil: true
  # ... and 8 others

performance:

2. Powerful Recipe System (items/*.json)

When you install the plugin, it generates JSON files for every workstation in the plugins/OmniStation/items/ folder.
You can edit the Name, Lore, Glow, and Crafting Recipe.

Example: workbench.json
By default, the recipe is the block surrounded by Paper.

{
  "enabled": true,
  "item": {
    "material": "CRAFTING_TABLE",
    "name": "&bCloud Crafting Table",
    "lore": [
      "&7Portable Workstation",
      "&7Right-click to open"
    ],
    "glow": true
  },
  "recipe": {
    "shape": [
      "PPP",
      "PBP",
      "PPP"
    ],
    "ingredients": {
      "P": "PAPER",
      "B": "CRAFTING_TABLE"
    }
  }
}

Just edit the file and type /omni reload to update recipes instantly!

📸 Visual Showcase

See OmniStation in action. Clean interfaces and fully customizable mechanics.

1. The Main Menu (/omni)

All your workstations in one place.
Access 11+ virtual stations including the Workbench, Anvil, Smithing Table, and Ender Chest from a single, intuitive GUI. No more running back to your base just to use a Stonecutter.

2. Custom Crafting Recipes

Turn blocks into portable tools.
Define your own crafting recipes using simple JSON files.
In this example, surrounding a standard Crafting Table with Paper creates a "Cloud Crafting Table" — a special glowing item that opens the interface instantly when right-clicked.

3. True Background Smelting 

Cook items while you explore.
Unlike basic command plugins, OmniStation simulates actual smelting logic in memory.
Start cooking, close the menu, go mining, and come back to finished items.
Since these aren't real blocks, there are Zero TileEntity updates, saving your server huge amounts of CPU usage.

4. Smart "Anti-Place" Protection

Safe for every server.
Worried about players using these items to grief or build?
"Cloud Items" function as tools, not blocks. The plugin automatically prevents players from placing them on the ground, ensuring they remain purely portable workstations.
