PluginsMC vs Thunder Plugins

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.

Thunder Plugins is a free collection of plugins for Minecraft Paper servers. It covers teleport requests (TPA), economy and shops, and custom enchantments. TPA plugins provide clickable request buttons in chat. Economy plugins include shops and a configurable currency, while enchantment plugins use rarity tiers. The maker says the plugins are built and tested directly against Paper, and each .jar is tested and versioned. Every listing gives the exact plugin version and supported Minecraft version. Downloads are plain .jar files: place one in the server’s plugins folder and restart the server to load it. No launcher, installer, or account is required. The service is listed for self-hosted and web use, with Paper as the specified server platform. Its access model is free-only, including a free plan, so no paid tier is described.
