BukkitDev vs InfinitePlugins

BukkitDev is a catalog for browsing Minecraft server plugins, including Bukkit plugins. Visitors can browse project pages, filter by game version, and sort listings. Categories include administration, anti-griefing, chat, developer tools, economy, mechanics, teleportation, and world management; example projects include an in-game map editor, voice chat, custom villager shops, and world management tools. Bukkit itself is free, open-source software for extending and controlling Minecraft multiplayer servers. The site directs creators to CurseForge publishing and documentation resources. CurseForge’s API can support project management and retrieve details such as game versions and dependencies, while creators can automate uploads through a CI/CD pipeline. API use requires a reviewed application and an issued key, plus a generated token. Project owners can restrict third-party distribution of project information and files through the API. The directory lists version history, dependency metadata, reviews, and manual listing approval. CurseForge describes automated checks and manual review; questions about a project’s in-game behavior go to its author.

InfinitePlugins is a direct-from-developer store by PM2 for premium Minecraft server plugins. Its catalog lists 15 plugins across chat, crates, economy and shops, gameplay, and utilities, including tools for vehicles, fishing, crops, and GUI editing. Plugins are designed for Java-based Minecraft servers such as Spigot, Paper, and Purpur, and Folia where indicated. They require Java 17 or later and do not run on vanilla Minecraft or Bedrock. Paid plugins arrive as Java JAR archives through a download link after purchase and include free lifetime updates. One purchase covers servers the buyer operates, but redistribution, decompilation, modification, and resale are prohibited. Some plugins are free; individual premium plugins are one-time purchases, with prices shown in euros and including EU VAT. The Founder's Pack is listed at €36.28, against an individual total of €51.83. LPC Pro's AI moderation requires a buyer-supplied OpenAI API key. Developer support is offered on Discord, with replies normally within 24 hours on weekdays.
