1.21 Plugins
For obvious reasons I have not updated my server yet to 1.21, but when I do, which plugins can I use even if they are not officially released for 1.21? I know it's not black and white; Vault hasn't been updated since 1.16 and works perfectly, whereas Terra broke 1.20.2 -> 1.20.4. So is there a pattern to which plugins are sensitive or insensitive to Minecraft Version?

Bukkit/Spigot compatible will break if they use nms/craftbukkit without reflection
Recently, paper has been working behind the scenes to make nms development not require reflection, but that was added in like 1.20.4 and plugins utilizing it aren’t compatible with older versions or bukkit/spigot
Also, if craftbukkit/nms provided APIs actually changed, then it’ll break even if it uses the new paper method or reflection
In short depends what and how the plugin does what it does, in generell more complex plugins are more prone to break after API/Version change but basically all plugins could break. Depends on what has changed in the new API/Version
