[Free, open-source] PluginForge — visual builder for Paper/Spigot/Velocity/BungeeCord plugins, drag blocks and download a runnable .jar

[/u/WonderfulMain5602]

For anyone who wants a custom plugin but doesn't want to write Java. PluginForge is a visual editor (Scratch-style blocks). You drag together what you want to happen, see the generated Java code live next to the canvas, and hit a button to download a working .jar file. Drop it into plugins/, restart the server, done. What you can build right now: Event handlers for Join, Quit, Death, Chat, Block Break/Place, Interact, Inventory Click, Damage, Respawn, Drop, Weather, Server Start, command preprocessing. Custom commands with arguments and permission checks. GUI menus (1–6 rows, slot-by-slot setup), scoreboards (sidebar with title and lines), boss bars, titles/action bars. Lobby essentials: hide-players, push velocity, cooldowns, persistent item markers (works for navigator-compass setups). Player actions: teleport, give item, set health/food/level/XP, potion effects, sound, kick, hide/show. World actions: set/get block, spawn entity, lightning, time/weather control, drop item, explosion, particles, set spawn. Items with custom name/lore/enchantments/unbreakable, GUI persistent markers. Scheduler (wait ticks, repeat ticks), config.yml read/write, variables, math, text manipulation. Velocity/Bungee network blocks (server switch, server list). Targets four platforms — Paper 1.21, Spigot, Velocity, BungeeCord. Same blocks, different generated code per target (e.g. uses Adventure Components on Paper, plain strings on Spigot). Two ways to use it: Run docker compose up --build → open localhost:8080 → build plugin → click "Build JAR" → download. Frontend only → "Project ZIP" → unzip → mvn package locally. Included examples to learn from: a welcome plugin, a /spawn teleport command, and a small minigame (lightning on block break). MIT-licensed, no paid version, no signup. UI in German and English.
