Minecraft Hub Plugins vs PluginsMC

Minecraft Hub Plugins is a web catalog of server plugins for Java Edition Minecraft. It lists resources for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Velocity, BungeeCord, and Sponge, with filters for categories, server software, proxies, versions, platform, and tags. Plugin pages include compatibility, dependency, and source review notes. Plugins are Java programs that run in plugin-capable server software and can alter permissions, land protection, economy, chat, or minigames. Players can join plugin servers with a vanilla client, but the server must be self-hosted or rented and run plugin-capable Java Edition software. Plugins do not run on Realms or the vanilla server jar. The catalog generally links to original download sources; mirrors appear only when permission, license, or ownership allows them. Its review includes a human pass, but the site does not claim consistent in-game testing. Installation involves downloading the jar from its linked source, placing it in the server's plugins folder, and restarting. Browsing is free, though individual plugins may have premium versions; check each source for price and license details.

PluginsMC sells modular Minecraft plugins for Paper and Spigot servers. Its Java 21 code targets Paper 1.21 and later, with products covering economies, profiles, auctions, jobs, rewards, crates, referrals, farm worlds, and PlotSquared interfaces. The maker presents these plugins for Citybuild, Survival, and Roleplay servers. VMultiEconomy supports the Vault API and can act as a Vault provider. VMultiEconomy, VMarket, VAuctionhouse, and VProfil share one data model. VCrates supports local flat-file storage or MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL with connection pooling. VCompany adds player-run firms, employee ranks and salaries, work-time tracking, company chest shops, and a taxed shared account. Purchases are one-time payments, starting at €12.99. After purchase, the dashboard provides licences, JAR downloads, versions, changelogs, and server IP management. Licences use IP binding and state product-specific limits and update terms.
