This page explains what the built-in modules do. For the current catalog and downloads, open modules.takaro.io.

Open catalog

Built-in modules are maintained by Takaro. You can install and configure them from the dashboard, but their code stays managed by Takaro so updates remain available.

The dashboard shows the exact commands, configuration schema, hooks, cronjobs, and permissions for the version installed on your game server. Use this page as a practical starting point when choosing a module.

If none of these modules match your workflow, build a custom module instead. Custom modules can add your own commands, hooks, cronjobs, configuration, permissions, and shop actions.

utils​

The utils module adds basic utility commands. It is useful when you want to confirm that player commands work on a connected server.

Commands:

  • ping replies with Pong.
  • help lists available commands or shows help for one command.

This module has no required user configuration.

teleports​

The teleports module lets players create, list, use, share, and delete teleport locations. It stores teleport locations per player and can optionally allow public teleports.

Commands include tp, tplist, settp, deletetp, setpublictp, and setprivatetp.

Important configuration:

  • maxTeleports sets the maximum number of teleport locations a player can create.
  • timeout sets the delay between teleport uses, in milliseconds.
  • allowPublicTeleports controls whether players can use shared teleport locations.

Use this module when your server needs player-managed homes, bases, or meeting points.

playerOnboarding​

The playerOnboarding module helps welcome players when they join the server. It combines a join hook with a command, so players can receive onboarding information automatically and request it again later.

Use this module for server rules, starter instructions, Discord links, or first-session guidance.

serverMessages​

The serverMessages module sends configured messages to players on a schedule. It runs as a cronjob.

Use this module for recurring server notices, restart reminders, Discord prompts, event announcements, or shop reminders.

Keep scheduled messages short. Long or frequent announcements can make chat harder to read.

chatBridge​

The chatBridge module connects in-game chat to external services such as Discord. It reacts to chat-related events with hooks.

Use this module when your community talks across game and Discord. Before installing, configure the Discord integration and decide which channels should receive game chat.

gimme​

The gimme module lets players receive a random item or entity from a configured list.

Use this module for lightweight rewards, random starter kits, or community events. Review the item list carefully before enabling it on a live server.

highPingKicker​

The highPingKicker module checks player ping on a schedule, warns players, and can kick players who remain above configured thresholds.

Use this module when high latency affects server performance or player experience. Set thresholds conservatively so players aren't removed for brief network spikes.

Choosing a module​

Start with the behavior you want on the server:

  • For command testing and help text, use utils.
  • For homes and travel, use teleports.
  • For first-time player guidance, use playerOnboarding.
  • For recurring announcements, use serverMessages.
  • For Discord and game chat syncing, use chatBridge.
  • For random rewards, use gimme.
  • For latency management, use highPingKicker.

For custom behavior, create your own module with Writing Takaro modules.
