Things i have thought about adding:
global map system. this would collect player map data and compile it into a larger image. would allow admins to do things like points of interest markers and such from a top down perspective. could also aid in build planning. this would be viewable/editable in the plugins GUI and the plugins RCON tool and viewable only via a small map server.
Plugin module system. this would allow other plugin developers to build modules to add to the server manager and RCON tool. this would allow for adding all Java Swing Objects (Tossing around the idea of going with javaFX).
Plugin management. a system to add remove enable disable plugins. would also include auto plugin updates. this idea is set aside as im not sure whats planned for the game in terms of plugin management.
Foreseeable issues:
server hosts. tho untested im sure this would cause issues with server hosts with no access to graphics devices. the planned work around is the RCON tool. the owner could manually set the RCON tool setting file with things like ip and port before uploading the plugin to the server then connect via rcon.
