# Minecraft Plugin Development

Build server-side Minecraft features that survive a version bump

## What this does

You run a Minecraft server and want it to do something the vanilla game does not. This helps you build and modify plugins for Paper, Spigot or Bukkit: adding commands, reacting to what players do, saving progress between sessions, and sorting out config files. Reach for it when you are writing a plugin or chasing down why one misbehaves.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Build a plugin for my Paper or Spigot server
- Add a command or fix a listener
- Implement a minigame, perk or quest system

## About Minecraft Plugin Development

This is for building or modifying Minecraft server plugins for Paper, Spigot or Bukkit.
