to get version array, then we can just do https://papermc.io/api/v1/paper/[version]/latest/download

Nice idea, but this is a dupe of my thread and with dryer detail

@WallyTube I believe this issue was made before yours?

from meta.

Yup it was made before

Mines a tad different, it just involves the same stuff. But lets not get off topic ;) amazing idea +1

from meta.

Yes we could do this. If we did, it would be the same work that would also include:

• different plugin versions (a lot more for us to manage)
• support for snapshots / newer versions
• support for modded servers

If we did this, should we auto upgrade servers on version updates, or should we notify them when a new version is available and just have new servers created since then default to latest?

Is there a reason you have to check every plugin? Other than file management what could really be exploited. if you set file management to just not work by denying the files to the user (I'm assuming its linux) then you probably wouldn’t need to modify those plugins.

If this was it, you could expand the list of supported plugins as well as allowing multiple versions by maybe downloading them from some api (does spigot have a downloading api??) and cache them instead of manually updating and hosting them.

And on the topic of what you asked, I think there should be a version selector, and if you pick a snapshot or latest version, it gives you the option to “auto upgrade” or just notify them and do it manually. This could work as it would be less thinking for people with simple desires just wanting a up-to-date server, and also works for the people building more advanced servers.

Does spigot have a downloading api

They dont have an official one (iirc) but there is a version called spiget which i belive is open sourced

This is to download Paper's server jar, not Spigot plugins.

i hope this would include snapshots if we are able to choose version

Apologies if I'm necroposting, but this doesn't exactly work. Minehut has to screen plugins to make sure they aren't malicious, and some plugins have their own forks made for minehut. We can't just take the newest version of skript and drag and drop it into a folder.

Implemented.
