Use this skill when building or modifying Minecraft server plugins for Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit, including plugin.yml setup, commands, listeners, schedulers, player state, team or arena systems, persistent progression, economy or profile data, configuration files, Adventure text, and version-safe API usage. Trigger for requests like "build a Minecraft plugin", "add a Paper command", "fix a Bukkit listener", "create plugin.yml", "implement a minigame mechanic", "add a perk or quest system", or "debug server plugin behavior".
Why this skill is useful

What this skill does
Minecraft Plugin Development Use this skill for Minecraft server plugin work in the Paper, Spigot, and Bukkit ecosystem. This skill is especially useful for gameplay-heavy plugins such as combat systems, wave or boss encounters, war or team modes, arenas, kit systems, cooldown-based abilities, scoreboards, and config-driven game rules. For grounded implementation patterns drawn from real Paper plugins, load these references as needed: references/project-patterns.md for high-level architecture patterns seen in real gameplay plugins references/bootstrap-registration.md for onEnable, command wiring, listener registration, and shutdown expectations references/state-sessions-and-phases.md for player session modeling, game phases, match state, and reconnect-safe logic references/config-data-and-async.md for config managers, database-backed player data, async flushes, and UI refresh tasks references/maps-heroes-and-feature-modules.md for map rotation, hero or class systems, and modular feature growth references/minigame-instance-flow.md for arena instances, countdowns, loot refreshes, wave systems, visibility isolation, and entity-to-game ownership references/persistent-progression-and-events.md for long-running PvP servers with profiles, perks, buffs, quests, economy, custom domain events, and extension registries references/build-test-and-runtime-validation.md for Maven or Gradle packaging, shaded dependencies, generated resources, soft dependencies, config validation commands, and first-round server test plans Scope In scope: Paper, Spigot, Bukkit plugin development In scope: plugin.yml, commands, tab completion, listeners, schedulers, configs, permissions, Adventure text, player state, minigame flow, arena instances, map copies, loot, waves, persistent profiles, perks, buffs, quests, economy, and PvP/PvE game loops In scope: Java-based server plugin architecture, debugging, refactoring, and feature implementation Out of scope by default: Fabric mods, Forge mods, client …
