minecraft-plugin-dev

Develop Minecraft server plugins using the Paper/Bukkit/Spigot API for Minecraft 1.21.x. Handles creating Paper plugins with JavaPlugin, event listeners with @EventHandler, commands, schedulers (sync/async/Folia-safe), Persistent Data Container (PDC), Adventure text components, Vault economy integration, BungeeCord/Velocity messaging, plugin.yml and paper-plugin.yml configuration, YAML config management, and Paper-specific enhancement APIs. Always targets Paper API 1.21.x (Java 21) with Gradle (Kotlin DSL). Plugins run server-side only and do not require client installation. Use when creating or modifying Minecraft server plugins, working with Paper/Bukkit/Spigot APIs, or developing server-side features involving event handlers, commands, or plugin.yml configuration.
