How to make it
- How to make a Minecraft pluginTwo ways to make a Minecraft plugin for Spigot or Paper: by hand with Java, Maven and the server API, or by describing it in plain words to an AI generator that writes, compiles and tests it.
- How to make a Minecraft plugin without codingMake a Spigot or Paper plugin without writing Java: describe it in plain words, let an AI write and compile it, test it on a real server, then install the .jar.
- How to make a Paper pluginMake a Paper plugin step by step: the Paper API, plugin.yml or paper-plugin.yml, Java versions per Minecraft version, building with Gradle or Maven, and testing on a Paper server.
- How to make a Spigot pluginMake a Spigot plugin: the Spigot API, plugin.yml, commands and listeners, building the .jar with Maven, versions from 1.8 to 26.x, and testing it on a server.
- How to make a Minecraft datapackMake a Minecraft datapack: pack.mcmeta and pack_format, functions, recipes, loot tables and advancements, where to put it in the world, and how to test it.
