Robbing Lite

Free thieves vs cops for your roleplay server.
Robbing Lite is the free edition of Robbing ⭐: pickpocketing and handcuffs, built from the same code, with the same 3D items and the same updates as the premium plugin.
No time limit, no watermark, no messages to your players.

Every GIF on this page is recorded in game with the plugin and its resource pack (Paper 26.1.2, Minecraft 26.2 client).

• Sneak + right-click a player to open their inventory and take whatever you want (or a plain right-click, if you turn off sneak-to-rob).
• The victim is alerted ("Thief is robbing you!") and can catch the robber with Shift + left-click: slowness and no jumping for 20 seconds.
• Get more than max-distance blocks away and the robbery stops.
• Whitelist / blacklist of stealable items (Robbing's own items included), cooldown, optional blindness after the robbery, NPC robbing on/off.

• Right-click a player with handcuffs: they can't walk away or run commands (except the ones you allow, e.g. /login).
• Handcuffed players can spam Shift to wear down the "Handcuffs Health" bar and break free.
• Optional escape window: a short delay before the cuffs close, so the target can run if they're quick.
• Release them with the Handcuffs Key or /rb handcuffs <player> false. Handcuffs stay on after relogging.

• Kidnap: handcuffed players follow your exact path, around corners and through doors. Take them to the station yourself.
• PIN safes: a real 3D safe block, locked with a 4-digit PIN and opened through a keypad GUI. Contents are saved in the database.
• Lockpicking: a minigame to crack locked safes. Nine pins, one is right, two mistakes and the lockpick snaps.
• /911: victims alert every online officer, with their coordinates.
• WorldGuard flags to allow or deny robbing, handcuffing and kidnapping per region, and MySQL for networks.
• Priority support on Discord.

Upgrading is a jar swap: same config.yml, same database, your handcuffed players stay handcuffed.

• One jar from 1.19.4 to 26.3. Tested on Paper; Spigot and Purpur are expected to work.
• Custom 3D items with the Robbing Resource Pack on Modrinth: one zip for 1.19.4 → 26.3, with a direct link and SHA-1 ready for server.properties. Without the pack everything still works, items just look vanilla.
• Persistent: handcuffs are saved in SQLite and survive restarts and relogs.
• Crafting recipes editable in-game with /rb menu.
• 5 languages included (English, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese-BR), every message editable.
• Developer events: StartRobbingEvent, ItemRobbedEvent, CatchEvent, ToggleHandcuffsEvent.
• Same code as Premium: every bug fix and every new Minecraft version lands in Lite too, tested by in-game bots before each release.
