Spec score 7.2 #14 of 22 in Minecraft Plugin Repositories

What it is

MC Plugin Finder is a free, open-source web app for searching Minecraft server plugins across Spigot, Modrinth, and Hangar. Its database can be searched by name, description, or author, with filtering and sorting for refining results. Listings that include the same source-code repository URL can be associated across repositories, allowing comparison of plugin versions and identification of the latest listing. Matching recognizes GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Codeberg URLs, but requires a listed source URL. Plugin information is collected through the Spiget API for Spigot and the Modrinth and Hangar APIs, then refreshed daily. Modrinth and Hangar icons are cached through imageproxy; Spigot icon data comes from Spiget and is stored in the database. The project is available under the GNU Affero General Public License 3.0. It identifies itself as MC Plugin Finder v0.1.5 and is not affiliated with the named Minecraft or plugin organizations.
