AStages
AStages is a lightweight progression framework for Minecraft. Built specifically for modpack creators and server admins, it lets you split gameplay into logical Stages so you can control exactly what players can see, use, or interact with.
How it works
By default, a player's stage container is completely empty. Anything tied to a locked stage is strictly inaccessible. The second a stage is added to the container, all associated blocks, items or permissions unlock instantly.
As of version 2.0.0, stages can be added or removed even if the player is offline.
Scopes & Persistence
AStages gives you deep control over how and when stages apply:
- Player-Scope: Assigned to individual players. Progression is personal and stays with them.
- Server-Scope: Global stages. When active, the stage is unlocked for everyone on the server automatically.
- Permanent: Standard behavior. Stages stay active until a script or command explicitly removes them.
- Temporary: Built-in real-time countdowns. The timer only ticks while the player is online. Once it hits zero, the stage is removed.
What you can restrict
Restrictions are the padlocks on your world. You can link multiple different restrictions to a single stage, meaning one unlock can open up a whole phase of your pack.
You can set them up on the fly using in-game commands or use KubeJS scripts for deep attribute customization.
- Crops: Freeze plant growth cycles and maturation ages.
- Dimensions: Block access completely, set stay timers or cap maximum allowed visits.
- Effects: Toggle status effects or filter them by specific amplifier levels.
- Enchantments: Stop specific enchants from appearing on books, being used on tools, or being applied via Anvils/Enchanting Tables.
- Items: Lock crafting and usage, or restrict container capacities (like specific slots in chests or backpacks).
- Loot: Intercept loot tables to block drops or dynamically replace them with something else.
- Mobs: Prevent specific entities from spawning based on light levels, biomes or dimensions.
- Ores: Hide or modify ore blocks in the world until players are ready for them.
- Pets: Selectively toggle breeding, taming, or mounting mechanics.
- Recipes: Native server-side blocks for Crafting, Smelting, Smithing, Stonecutting, Campfires and more.
- Regions: Block interactions and explosions within precise 3D boxes or spheres.
- Screens: Lock GUIs and machinery menus while tracking exactly what the player tried to open.
- Structures: Build physical collision boundaries around generated structures to block entry, interactions and explosion damage.
