# Build Reliable Minecraft Server Plugins

Plugin development across Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper requires careful API, performance, and compatibility decisions. This skill provides structured architecture, implementation, testing, and deployment guidance.

## Capabilities

- Designs event-driven plugin architectures using listeners, services, repositories, factories, and internal events.
- Guides command, inventory interface, world generation, entity behavior, packet, and NMS development.
- Recommends version-aware approaches for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Adventure, MiniMessage, and Mojang mappings.
- Plans performance analysis for hot events, asynchronous input and output, chunk loading, memory, and server ticks.
- Explains integrations with Vault, PlaceholderAPI, ProtocolLib, databases, queues, web APIs, and cross-server systems.
- Structures Maven or Gradle builds, MockBukkit tests, documentation, configuration migrations, monitoring, and deployment.

## Use Cases

- Create a New Plugin: Plan a maintainable plugin structure, build configuration, commands, listeners, configuration, and tests for a defined server version.
- Modernize a Legacy Plugin: Assess compatibility, replace outdated APIs, introduce version boundaries, and plan gradual configuration migrations.
- Diagnose Server Performance: Review hot events, chunk operations, database access, concurrency, memory use, and profiling evidence before recommending changes.

## Prompt Templates

### Plan a Basic Plugin

```
Plan a [plugin purpose] plugin for [server platform and version]. Include project structure, commands, listeners, configuration, permissions, and basic tests.
```

### Design a Feature

```
Design [feature] for my existing [Bukkit, Spigot, or Paper] plugin. Consider lifecycle, thread safety, error handling, configuration, and test coverage.
```

### Review Compatibility

```
Review this plugin architecture for versions [range]. Identify incompatible APIs, isolate version-specific code, and propose tests for each supported platform.
```

### Investigate Performance

```
Analyze these profiler results and relevant plugin flows. Rank bottlenecks, explain server-thread impact, and propose measurable fixes with regression tests.
```

## Limitations

- It provides guidance and generated implementation plans, but it does not run or validate a Minecraft server.
- Version-specific APIs and NMS internals require verification against current documentation and target server builds.
- The referenced implementation playbook is not included in the reported file structure.
- External integrations require project-specific credentials, permissions, dependencies, and security review.

## Best Practices

- State the target Minecraft version, server platform, Java version, build tool, dependencies, and compatibility requirements.
- Provide existing project structure, relevant code, profiler evidence, and expected behavior before requesting changes.
- Validate generated guidance with MockBukkit tests, real-server integration tests, current API documentation, and measured performance.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not perform Bukkit API operations asynchronously unless the API explicitly documents thread safety.
- Do not depend directly on unstable NMS internals without mappings, version isolation, and compatibility tests.
- Do not optimize from assumptions; collect timings, reproduce the issue, and compare measurable results.

- Summary: Both static findings are false positives caused by ordinary Markdown prose. No command execution, network reconnaissance, prompt injection, or other malicious intent appears in the reviewed skill.
