InvMaster is a Bukkit Plugin that allows server ops to view and edit other players' inventories, whether the other player is online or offline. Piggie-backing off the work done by Graham Edgecombe on JNBT: The Java NBT Library, InvMaster has the capability to view and edit other players' inventories when they're offline. It accomplishes this by opening and reading the players' unique .dat file, extracting only the "Inventory" and "EnderItems" contents, and converting them into Bukkit inventories.
Not only can admins view offline players' inventories, they can also manipulate them! That's right, you can replace their armor, confiscate stolen items, and distribute rewards! It's one of those things that every admin running a tight ship needs.
InvMaster is still in development, and is meant to be a simple plugin specializing in one, simple task. It is heavily bukkit-, craftbukkit-, and minecraft-server-dependent. That means that every Minecraft/Bukkit update is very likely to break this plugin. This plugin performs operations on player data files that, if complications were to arise, could cause problems. I have taken measures to ensure that player files do not get corrupted, and most if not all errors have been worked out through extensive testing. That being said, use at your own risk. If you encounter a problem, please send me the error data from your logs, and please contact me on Twitter if you need to get a hold of me. Thank you for your support, and I hope this plugin works perfectly for you.
Disclaimer By installing this plugin, you, the server administrator, take responsibility for your players' inventories.
Please contact me if you wish to use the source code. Of course, everything I've written can by reconstructed from the JNBT Library.
