    BlueMap

    BlueMap

    A Minecraft mapping tool that creates 3D models of your Minecraft

    BlueMap is a program that reads your Minecraft world files and generates not only a map, but also 3D models of the whole surface. With the web app you then can look at those in your browser and basically view the world as if you were ingame! Or just look at it from far away to get an overview. BlueMap comes as a Spigot/Paper or Sponge Plugin, as a Fabric or Forge-Mod and you can also use BlueMap without any Server from the Command-Line as a standalone tool. If installed as a Plugin/Mod, BlueMap renders asynchronously to your MinecraftServer-Thread. This means at no time it will block your server thread directly. So as long as your CPU is not fully utilized, your server should not be slowed down while BlueMap is rendering.

    Skript

    Skript

    Skript is a Bukkit plugin which allows server admins

    Skript is (surprise, surprise) a scripting plugin for the Bukkit platform. It is easy to use for simple tasks, but you can also create really complex things with it. The syntax of Skript is close to English, but it is still not magic. While you might succeed with experimentation for simple tasks, for anything more complex you will need some guidance. You will find all supported features of the plugin here, along with some useful examples. We don't have tutorials yet, but you can find good ones using whatever search engine you prefer. Skript requires Spigot to work. You heard it right, CraftBukkit does not work. Paper, which is a fork of Spigot, is recommended; it is required for some parts of Skript to be available. Skript supports only the latest patch versions of Minecraft 1.9+. For example, this means that 1.16.5 is supported, but 1.16.4 is not. Testing with all old patch versions is not feasible for us.

    Iris

    Iris

    A modern shaders mod for Minecraft compatible with existing OptiFine

    Iris was created to fill a void that I saw in the Minecraft customization and graphical enhancement community: the lack of an open-source shaders mod that would let me load my favorite shader packs on modern versions of the game, while retaining performance and compatibility with modpacks. OptiFine, the current dominant mod for loading shader packs, has restrictive licensing that firmly stands in the way of any sort of tinkering, and is fairly notorious for having compatibility issues with the mods that I like. It's also mutually incompatible with Sodium, the best rendering optimization mod in existence by a large margin. ShadersMod was never updated past 1.12, and it lacks support for many of the many modern popular shaderpacks. So I created Iris, to try and solve these issues, and also address many other longstanding issues with shader packs. I first and foremost develop Iris to meet my own needs of a performance-oriented shaders mod with good compatibility.

    WorldEdit

    WorldEdit

    Minecraft map editor and mod

    WorldEdit is a powerful open-source Minecraft map editing toolkit that allows players, builders, and server administrators to quickly modify large areas of a Minecraft world directly from within the game. Instead of placing or removing blocks individually, WorldEdit provides commands and tools that enable users to select regions of the world and apply transformations to thousands or even millions of blocks at once. This capability makes it extremely useful for constructing large builds, terraforming terrain, repairing damage, or managing multiplayer server worlds efficiently. The tool includes a variety of editing methods such as brushes, shape generation commands, and clipboard operations that allow copying, pasting, and rotating entire structures. WorldEdit can run in both single-player environments and multiplayer servers and is compatible with several modding platforms and server frameworks used in Minecraft Java Edition.

    Botania

    Botania

    A tech mod for Minecraft themed around the magic of nature

    Botania is a Minecraft tech mod themed around natural magic. It's inspired by other magic mods, such as Thaumcraft or Blood Magic. With an original aim- and timing-based power system, Botania has a very different feel from your typical magic or tech mod. Manipulating Mana and watching it flow in real time adds a new light to your base of operations. Botania works within the Minecraft world itself; no GUIs are used to interact with any of its features. It's carefully designed to ensure that nearly everything is fully automatable using vanilla and itself. After some thought, of course. The Lexica Botania is the compendium of nearly all knowledge about this mod. Easily craftable in-game using a book and a sapling, it gives you almost all the information you'll ever need to know about Botania.

Grim supports a wide range of Minecraft versions and can integrate with server platforms used in competitive or large multiplayer environments.

SpongeForge is the implementation of the Sponge API on the Minecraft Forge platform. Recommended for running plugins together with Forge mods. The purpose of the Sponge project is to create a plugin development framework for Minecraft: Java Edition. Sponge is being created by a global community, and its open-source nature means anyone can participate.
