BukkitDev vs MineAcademy Plugins

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.
