Minecraft plugin ideas, with prompts

Step by step

1. 1.Pick one idea and make it small

   Start with the core of the idea: one or two commands and one rule. Extras come later, in the same project.

2. 2.Write it as a short spec

   Server software and version, commands with arguments, permissions, limits, what is saved, what goes in config.yml.

3. 3.Generate and build it

   With Codexe, paste the spec on Create: it writes the plugin, compiles it and repairs build errors before it is Ready.

4. 4.Play it on a test server

   Join a private test server with the plugin installed and try every command as a normal player and as operator.

5. 5.Adjust and install

   Ask for changes in the chat, describing what you saw, then install the .jar in plugins/ and restart.

Survival and SMP

• Homes with a warmup: "/sethome, /home and /delhome, 3 homes per player, 5 with homes.vip, 3-second warmup that cancels on movement."
• Grave chests: "On death, items go into a chest at the death spot that only the owner can open for 10 minutes, with coordinates sent in chat."
• Sleep vote: "Night is skipped when 50% of online players are in bed (configurable), with a bossbar showing the count."
• Claim protection: "/claim protects the chunk the player stands in, up to 8 chunks, trusted players with /trust <player>."

Economy, prison and skyblock

• Sell wand: "Right-clicking a chest with the sell wand sells its contents at prices from config.yml through Vault."
• Player shops in a GUI: "/ah sell <price> lists the item in hand, /ah opens a paged GUI, 5% tax, listings expire after 48 hours."
• Mine reset: "Mines defined with two corners refill every 15 minutes with weighted blocks, with a chat warning 30 seconds before."
• Daily rewards: "/daily opens a 7-day calendar GUI, each day a configurable reward, a missed day resets the streak."

Minigames and PvP

• Spleef: "Arena set with /spleef setarena, the floor breaks when hit with a shovel, last player standing wins, wins saved per player."
• King of the Hill: "Standing in a region for 60 seconds total wins, a bossbar shows the leader, the event starts with /koth start."
• Kill streaks: "Every 5 kills without dying broadcasts a message and gives a configurable reward, the streak shows in the tab list."

RPG and roleplay

• Custom items with abilities: "A Frost Sword that slows the target for 2 seconds, a cooldown of 10 seconds, given with /rpgitem give."
• Simple quests: "Kill 20 zombies or mine 64 iron ore, progress in a scoreboard, rewards from config.yml, /quests shows active quests."
• Levels and skills: "Mining, combat and farming XP, levels unlock small bonuses, /skills opens a GUI with progress bars."

Networks and communities

• Network staff chat (Velocity or BungeeCord): "/sc <message> reaches staff on every backend server, with the server name in front."
• Maintenance mode: "/maintenance on kicks everyone without maintenance.bypass and shows a custom MOTD on the server list."
• Discord link: "A discord.py bot with /status showing online players and a channel message when the server goes online or offline."
