Hangar vs Minecraft Plugins by Stellionix

Hangar is a site for finding, downloading, uploading, and managing plugins for Minecraft servers running Paper, Velocity, or Waterfall. Its catalog offers platform, category, and tag filters, and projects can be searched and sorted by stars, downloads, update recency, or newest listings. A resource page's main download button provides the latest release. Project owners can add authors, create organizations, and manage roles at project or organization level. Releases can include multiple jars or external links per platform, with customizable channels such as beta or snapshot. Project pages can contain multiple description or wiki pages, and plugin compatibility can be selected by minor Minecraft versions and specific Velocity versions. Hangar also provides a documented REST API for uploads and downloads, plus a Gradle publishing plugin; PaperMC documentation describes publishing through GitHub Actions. The site is presented as an open beta. Its Spigot importer brings over descriptions and basic settings, but versions must be uploaded manually afterward. Hangar is free, and its resource rules prohibit plugin functionality from being hidden behind a paywall or author-granted license key.

Minecraft Plugins by Stellionix is a collection of free, open-source tools for Minecraft servers. Its projects target server owners and are described as maintained across multiple Minecraft versions and server updates for over 10 years. Stellionix lists Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and compatible server software as supported platforms; project downloads are available through GitHub and, depending on the project, Bukkit, CurseForge, or Modrinth. DeadChest saves a player's inventory in a chest on death rather than dropping items on the ground. It is for Minecraft Java Edition and lists Bukkit API 1.13+ along with Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Tuinity, and similar server forks. Administrators can inspect, remove, repair, and return chests, configure behavior and localization, and use optional WorldGuard integration or its extension API. MobsManager gives administrators world-level control over natural, custom, spawner, egg, breeding, and iron golem spawning. Other projects include SpawnerSilk for managing mob spawners, MendingEnchant for configurable ways to obtain Mending, CreatureCapture for capturing creatures, and RedStoneMe for proximity-based redstone triggers. The site links to a Discord server for support.
