Minecraft Bukkit Pro
Expert guidance for Minecraft plugin development across Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper, covering event-driven architecture, NMS internals and packet handling, performance engineering, and ecosystem integrations like Vault, ProtocolLib, and databases via HikariCP. Use it when building or extending a cross-version Minecraft plugin, especially where internal mechanics, performance, or ecosystem integrations are involved.
What it does
Provides expert-level guidance for Minecraft server plugin development across Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper APIs: event-driven architecture with listener priorities and custom events, modern Paper features (Adventure, MiniMessage, Lifecycle API), Brigadier-based command systems, inventory GUIs with NBT manipulation, and world/entity/chunk management. It covers internal mechanics - NMS (net.minecraft.server) internals and Mojang mappings, packet manipulation, reflection for cross-version compatibility, and Paperweight-userdev for deobfuscated development - plus performance engineering (hot-event optimization, async I/O, chunk-loading strategy, GC tuning, Spark profiler integration) and ecosystem integration with Vault, PlaceholderAPI, ProtocolLib, and MySQL/Redis/MongoDB via HikariCP.
Its development philosophy calls for researching current best practices via WebSearch before implementing, applying SOLID design, profiling before optimizing, detecting the server type (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper) to pick the right API, preferring modern APIs with compatibility fallbacks, and testing with MockBukkit plus integration tests on real servers. It also prescribes code-quality standards (Google Java Style Guide, defensive programming, immutable objects, builder patterns, dependency injection), configuration conventions (YAML with comments, MiniMessage vs legacy text formatting, environment-variable support for containers), and a build/documentation standard (Maven/Gradle with shade/shadow relocation, semantic versioning, JavaDoc, migration guides).
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when building or extending a Minecraft server plugin that needs to work correctly across Bukkit, Spigot, and/or Paper, especially when internal mechanics (NMS, packets, reflection), performance tuning, or ecosystem integrations (Vault, ProtocolLib, databases) are involved.
Inputs and outputs
Input: a Minecraft plugin development task or an existing plugin's build configuration to analyze. Output: architecture and implementation guidance, code organized by feature with service/repository/factory patterns, YAML configuration with migration paths, and a build/CI setup with semantic versioning and documentation.
Integrations
Integrates with Vault, PlaceholderAPI, and ProtocolLib for cross-plugin functionality; MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB via HikariCP for data persistence; Docker and Kubernetes for deployment; and the Spark profiler for production performance debugging. Always favors researching via WebSearch/WebFetch for current API changes and community patterns before implementing.
Who it's for
Minecraft plugin developers working across Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper who need both API-level guidance and deeper internal-mechanics and performance expertise.
Before writing code it examines the project's existing build configuration and architectural patterns, assesses performance and scalability needs, and reviews security implications and attack vectors - then documents the result with a quick-start README, wiki pages for advanced features, generated API docs, and migration guides for version updates. Its code-structure guidance also calls for an event bus for internal plugin communication and feature flags for gating experimental functionality alongside gradual config-migration paths.
