TheMinecraftPlugin is a steadily growing, modular PaperMC plugin that brings many familiar server features into one consistent, well-structured system. It isn’t finished and it isn’t meant to replace the entire plugin ecosystem, but the aim is clear: a unified framework where core server features feel like they belong together instead of being stitched from a dozen different places.
The development of this project is intentionally open and community-driven, with a focus on keeping communication clear and making it easy for anyone to follow what’s happening. Suggestions, bug reports, and feature ideas are encouraged, and the hope is that the project grows in a direction shaped by real server owners and players rather than rigid plans that ignore how people actually use it in practice.
Features are added gradually and built on top of shared systems, allowing the plugin to improve in small, steady steps without forcing server owners through complicated changes every update. The goal is long-term familiarity, where administrators know what to expect, where configuration makes sense across different modules, and where improvements carry over naturally as the plugin evolves.
Even though this is a hobby project, it’s designed with the intention of being genuinely useful to others, whether someone needs just one feature or several pieces of the larger system. TheMinecraftPlugin will continue to grow as time allows, shaped by feedback, informed by real usage, and built in a way that welcomes collaboration instead of making it complicated.
TheMinecraftPlugin started as my personal learning project years ago, the thing I rebuilt every time I learned something new about Java, game server architecture, web development, or backend systems. I’ve scrapped and rewritten this plugin multiple times, each version cleaner and more stable than the last. This release marks the beginning of the final, long-term version. It’s not complete yet, but its foundation is finally right, modular, future-proof, and designed to grow with the server ecosystem rather than fight against it.
I’m sharing it publicly because:
- I want others to be able to learn from the code the same way I learned from the plugins before me
- I believe servers shouldn’t have to juggle 30+ plugins when one well-made system can handle it
- Open development makes quality better
- And honestly... it’s fun to build something big and see people use it
This plugin is open-source, collaborative, and constantly evolving.
Stable, recommended version for live servers.
The main build intended for everyday server use, updated carefully and tested before each publish.
⬇️ Direct Download
⬇️ SpigotMC Page
⬇️ Hangar Page
⬇️ Download Dev Build • Contains the newest changes, early features, and fixes that haven’t gone through full testing yet.
It’s ideal for testing, experimenting, and helping the project grow by reporting issues or giving feedback.
Warning
Dev builds are not recommended for live servers.
These versions may contain unfinished features, temporary behavior, or bugs that could impact stability, player data, or other systems.
Use them only on test environments or servers where you’re comfortable handling unexpected issues.
Available versions (newest → oldest):
Note
Changelog files live in ./changelog/ — each version has its own file.
TheMinecraftPlugin is built in the open — and that means your ideas, feedback, and questions genuinely matter.
Whether you’re running a small private server or managing a large community, you’re welcome here.
If something feels unclear, broken, incomplete, or just “could be better,” I want to hear about it.
You’re encouraged to:
- Share ideas for new features
- Report bugs or odd behavior
- Ask for help configuring or understanding modules
- Give suggestions on what would make the plugin easier to use
- Hang out, chat, and watch the project grow over time
Tip
The community is not just for reporting problems — it’s a space to influence where the plugin goes next.
If you have a good idea, you can help shape the future direction.
Contributions of any size are welcome. If you’d like to help:
- Start a discussion or open an issue
- Follow existing coding style
- Explain your changes clearly
- Don’t include code from other copyrighted plugins
Every small improvement helps. Seriously.
Tip
If you're unsure whether something is a bug or a feature request, just ask.
The goal is fast, honest communication — no support ticket bureaucracy.
TheMinecraftPlugin is a hobby project that I build in my free time, and every bit of support helps me keep improving it, adding new features, and maintaining it long-term.
If you enjoy the plugin, want to support the development, or just feel like buying me a drink, here are a few ways to do that:
• ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: Support here
• 💸 PayPal: Send a tip
• ⭐ Patreon: Become a supporter
Even small donations mean a lot — they help cover hosting costs, testing setups, and the time I sink into updates.
TheMinecraftPlugin is shared openly so people can learn from it, use it, and build on it — but it also needs clear boundaries to protect the project, the contributors, and the work that goes into it.
These guidelines exist to keep things fair for everyone.
You are welcome to:
- Use this plugin on any server, including monetized servers
- Modify the plugin for your own server or personal experiments
- Learn from the codebase
- Build addons, extensions, or integrations
- Contribute fixes, improvements, or new ideas
- Share the plugin with others, as long as proper credit remains intact
To protect the project and its contributors, you may not:
- Claim the plugin, its code, or its features as your own work
- Rebrand, rename, or re-upload it as a separate project
- Sell the plugin itself, or include it inside a paid plugin/service
- Package or reuse parts of the code in commercial products
- Sell features powered directly by this plugin (e.g., selling access to features it provides out-of-the-box)
Important
This is not meant to restrict normal server monetization.
Things like donor ranks, cosmetics, or perks from other plugins are perfectly fine.
The restriction applies only to reselling this plugin or the features created by this plugin.
If you have a use that falls outside these rules — commercial integrations, custom distributions, large-scale network usage, or anything unique — just reach out.
I try to be flexible, and most reasonable requests can be discussed.
By contributing code, documentation, or other work, you agree that your contribution becomes part of the project under these same terms unless we discuss something different beforehand.
This keeps the project consistent, legally safe, and fair to everyone involved.
For anyone who gives this project a chance — you’re part of the reason it keeps moving. --wireser
