I Built 7 Free Minecraft Plugins in a Weekend
The author developed seven lightweight, open-source Minecraft plugins over a weekend to address specific needs on their small economy survival server. Each plugin focuses on a single feature, avoiding the complexity and bloat of existing marketplace options. The plugins are MIT-licensed, compatible with major server platforms, and available on GitHub.
- ▪The seven plugins include features like AFK detection, custom MOTD, join/leave messages, player stats, auto-save warnings, back command cooldowns, and a keyword-based chat bot.
- ▪Each plugin is designed to be simple, with minimal configuration and no unnecessary features, targeting a small 60-player server community.
- ▪The plugins use a shared Maven skeleton with shaded dependencies to prevent conflicts when multiple plugins are installed.

So I rebuilt seven of them from scratch.
