PlotNova

A Paper-first plot management plugin for Minecraft, forked from PlotSquared.

PlotNova replaces Bukkit-specific APIs with Paper-native equivalents, providing better performance, modern Adventure Components, and access to Paper's built-in Dialog API.

Features

• Plot creation, management, and protection
• Configurable world generators
• Plot merging, trading, and collaboration
• Flag system for weather, time, game modes, PvP, and more
• Placeholder support via PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholder
• World management via Multiverse-Core, Multiverse-NWT, or FancyWorlds

Requirements

• Server software: Paper 1.21.1 or later (Paper-only, no Spigot/Bukkit support)
• Java: 21 or later
• Optional dependencies: WorldEdit, FAWE, PlaceholderAPI, MiniPlaceholder, LuckPerms, Vault, EssentialsX, Multiverse-Core, FancyWorlds

Building

./gradlew build

The output JAR will be in paper/build/libs/.

Development

PlotNova targets Paper exclusively. All Bukkit/Spigot compatibility code has been removed in favor of Paper-native APIs:

• Adventure Components for all messaging (no legacy ChatColor)
• Paper Dialog API for UIs (replacing inventory menus)
• Paper teleport with teleportAsync() and TeleportCause
• Paper scheduler via TaskManager abstraction

See PHASES.md for the full migration plan and progress.
