MINECRAFT PLUGIN GENERATOR
“Plugin” covers five genuinely different things in Minecraft, and picking the wrong one wastes a lot of time. This page explains the difference and sends you to the right generator.
Compare the options
| Target | Runs on | Player install | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plugin (Spigot / Paper / Folia) | Server only | Vanilla clients can join | Commands, permissions, gameplay rules, economies, GUIs |
| Proxy plugin (BungeeCord / Velocity) | Proxy only | Vanilla clients can join | Queues, routing, cross-server chat, transfers |
| Mod (Forge / Fabric) | Client and server | Players must install it | New blocks, items, entities, rendering |
| Datapack | Server only | Vanilla clients can join | Recipes, loot tables, advancements, functions |
| Skript | Server only (needs Skript) | Vanilla clients can join | Event-driven behaviour without writing Java |
The short version
If players should not have to install anything - and that is almost always what a public server wants - you need a plugin, a datapack or Skript, not a mod.
If you need genuinely new blocks, items or entities that appear in the player’s inventory and world, you need a mod, and every player needs it too.
If it spans multiple servers - queues, network chat, sending players between servers - that is proxy territory, not backend.
If it is small and event-driven and you would rather not compile anything, Skript will get you there fastest.

Still unsure? The plugin documentation covers plugin.yml, Spigot versus Paper and Folia’s threading model, and the mod documentation compares Forge and Fabric.
