Your First Invite - Step by Step

This guide walks you through inviting a friend to your server, step by step.

Prerequisites

✅ InviteMe plugin installed
✅ Server running
✅ You have the invite.use permission (given by default)

Step 1: Invite Your Friend

In-game, run this command:

/invite add PlayerName

Replace PlayerName with the exact username of your friend.

Example:

/invite add Alice

What happens:

✅ Alice’s name is added to the invite list
✅ Alice can now join your server
✅ The invite is recorded in the action log
✅ An in-game message confirms it worked

Step 2: Your Friend Joins

Your friend (Alice) can now connect to your server with her Minecraft launcher.

What they’ll see:

✅ Server appears in their server list
✅ No “disconnected” or “not whitelisted” message
✅ They can join normally

Step 3: Check Your Invitations

See who you’ve invited using the list command:

/invite list

Output example:

Your Invitations:
- Alice (invited 2 hours ago)

Or view it in an inventory GUI:

/invite menu

This shows a visual interface with:

Player heads
Invitation date
Buttons to confirm/cancel
Navigation to other pages

Step 4: Understanding Your Invitations

Once Alice has joined:

Check Invite Expiration

Invitations are permanent by default. To see all your invitations:

/invite list

Create a Temporary Invitation

If you want to invite someone for only 7 days:

/invite add Bob 7

This creates a temporary invite that expires automatically after 7 days.

Remove an Invitation

To revoke an invitation:

/invite remove Alice

Optional: Add a reason for the log:

/invite remove Alice Player left the server

Step 5: Admin Tasks (Optional)

If you’re an admin (invite.admin permission):

View Someone Else’s Invitations

/im profile Alice

Shows Alice’s full invite history and activity.

Check Server Statistics

/im stats

Shows:

Total invitations on server
Top inviters
Mutual boost statistics

View Action Log

/im log list

See all invite/uninvite actions with timestamps.

Troubleshooting

“The command didn’t work”

✅ Check permission: do you have invite.use?
✅ Check plugin is loaded: /im debug
✅ Reload config: /im reload

“Player still can’t join”

✅ Make sure you typed the exact username
✅ Check they haven’t been uninvited
✅ Run /im sync to sync with native whitelist

“I don’t see the invite in /invite list”

✅ Invites are immediate - run command again
✅ Check if admin removed it
✅ View full history: /im log list
