Plugin Compatibility

Gareth Coles edited this page Mar 23, 2015 · 64 revisions

Warning: This wiki page is on the official Glowstone wiki. If you got here from another project or fork (such as Dragonet), please note that it applies only to the official version of Glowstone and that we don't provide support or compatibility claims for any other projects.


We're now managing the list of compatible plugins in a spreadsheet, to make contributions easier.

Link to the plugin compatibility list itself

(And the submissions form)

Keep in mind that any plugin using CraftBukkit (org.bukkit.craftbukkit) or Minecraft (net.minecraft.server) calls may not work, as these are not in Glowstone. Glowstone should have compatibility with all plugins that only use Bukkit calls, although features may not be implemented in Glowstone, yet.

We need your help!

At the moment of this writing this list is covering a very tiny fraction of the bukkit plugins, so all submissions will be highly appreciated. It's a good way to contribute to the project which requires no coding experience at all.

There's a few ways to submit entries:

  • You can submit anonymously through this form - these get added to the "form responses" sheet which we'll gradually sort.
  • You can get edit access by PMing your email address to 'dx' on irc.
  • If you need to comment on existing entries, you can do right click -> insert comment as an anonymous viewer

How to add plugins to the list

  • Find bukkit plugins sorted by popularity here
    • You can pick anything you want, but popular stuff means it will be more useful to list it here
    • Alternatively, if you own a server or know someone who owns a server, drop all their plugins in glowstone, and see how many of them break.
  • Download, install.
  • Test as much functionality as possible out of each plugin
  • Fill the form
  • Submit issues to our tracker if you've found bugs (check for open issues first)

How to decide the "status"

  • YES - If you find no issues
  • KINDA - If you find any kind of issue that still lets people use the important parts of the plugin
  • NO - If you find issues that stop the important stuff from working.
  • NMS/CB - If you get errors about craftbukkit or net.minecraft.server
  • Read Library Management if you get errors about log4j2 or sqlite-jdbc or mysql-connector.

About plugins that depend on each other

Test all of them, add all of them to the list!

If a plugin doesn't do anything interesting by itself but doesn't cause issues either, mark it as working. There's a few like that in the list already. For example: craftirc + herochat + anherobridge + vault, all those work together
